Finally, the last blog entry!!!
Topic: Setting
The hill was hollow. A deep depression in the middle, partially filled with water, was ringed by concave slopes that cantilevered dangerously over the water. In one direction the hill gave way to two long ridges that made a V-shaped valley; in the other direction the hill rose to a piece of white rock, grinning like a skull with a tree growing out of its mouth.
This was a setting that was both beautiful and disturbing to me. It was beautiful because the description sounded like a lovely place. However, it's disturbing because it's the place where Ender killed the Giant and its large bones were still there. I like the description because it sounds like a wonderland; beautiful trees, forests, lakes, everything in nature was there. However, the truth behind it is that someone murdered the Giant and it decayed. That Giant's bones were what made up half the place. It's kind of disgusting if you think about it. However, this place is a good place because it's where Ender finds peace in himself. So, I both like and dislike this setting. It also has a big meaning to it because it's where Ender changes and it also has Ender's childhood memories in the place. Though, if I was Ender, I would not like to be there because it would disgust me (because of the dead Giant). But it seems like a nice place.
