Setting
1. Where has each of the above stories been set?
Ans: The Real Durwan by Jhumpa Lahiri has been set in a stairwell during the rainy season, while The Adventure Of the Speckled Band by Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle is set in Watson's room in April 1983 and Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen is set in Mr. Bennet's house.
2. What time period has each of these stories been set in?
Ans: The Real Durwan has been set in the present, along with Pride and Prejudice, while The adventure of the Speckled Band has been set in the past.
3. What clues do you get from the setting about what kind of story it is going to turn out to be?
Ans: The extract from The Real Durwan gives a hint of being a sad and tragic story about a poor woman in the first and last paragraph. It is written that "She shook the quilts once underneath the letter boxes where she lived" which shows that she did not have money to own an apartment and in the last paragraph, "along with her life savings, tied to the free end of her sari." which shows how little money she has that she could tie it to an end of her sari.
The starting of the extract from The adventure of the speckled band suggests a story full of mystery and twists as shown in the first paragraph, as Watson says, "working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the acquirement of wealth, he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards the unusual, and even the fantastic." which suggests that they were going to investigate an unusual mystery of some sort.
The last paragraph in this extract of of Pride and Prejudice hints a story about a couple who is arguing about whether or not and who shall bring their daughters to Mr. Bingsley that he might fall in love with them, and that they might be married to a rich man.

You seem to have missed out on some posts some please check them out and add them in. I like the animations I got when I visited your blog but the text can be bigger and more organised for easier reading. Good work done in setting here but the setting is a little bit wrong. Thanks!
