Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or distrubing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.
No it was distrubing for me, because the quote says, " All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat. He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was ecgied by another"
Because it tells us that the boys were damaged and had a scar that hurt them terribly. And the warm heat and the sun disturbed him cruelly make them irritated. This settings and comment shows that the boys will be hurt and ripped apart. They will kill and damage each other. The sun and the warm heat describes the beast (fear) that disturbed and irritated them so much that they became a phsyco and killed their friend. The scar describes the disruption between the boys and predict that they will hurt each other and become the beast. Also, the novel reaveals that the world is like this, they kill each other even though they are same race. For example, in Africa they kill each other and still having a war.

Hi Richard, I read your entry about settings. I found out that you've got the similar opinion about settings of this novel. I didn't find any beautiful settings but they disturbed me a lot like you. It is interesting because we are thinking in same way but we explained it in very different way. Nice entry! :)
