Hi Everyone,

Tonight for homework you will be reviewing ways in which authors create/establish setting.

To complete the assignment, take a piece of a paper (you will be writing about "The Most Dangerous Game" on one side and doing a short creative writing piece on the other)


1. Front Side of the Paper

- Identify 3 specific examples of suspense from "The Most Dangerous Game"

- Identify 2 example of foreshadowing from "The Most Dangerous Game"

* Keep the definitions in mind

Suspense: a state or condition of mental uncertainty or excitement, as in awaiting a decision or outcome, usually accompanied by a degree of apprehension or anxiety.

Foreshadowing: A hint that suggests what will happen in the future


2. Back Side of the Paper

A suspenseful paragraph that incorporates the 4 specifics discussion class.



  1. Set the Stage- Place the Character in a Dangerous Place or a Place That Evokes Fear
  2. Give Insight Into How The Character is Feeling
  3. Show Don’t Tell
  4. Slow Time Down

You paragraph should not be a story, it should only establish setting.  It can be about any place you wish

Please remember to write for at lest 3/4 of a page, use the model I gave you in class, and write the heading on the top of the paper
