The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky


1. Shape: The author’s writing follows the form and sequence of a fiction story. It is told chronologically and broke down into flashbacks and it follows logically. This form and sequence help establish and fulfill my expectations. It is written as a fiction and chronologically so I expect it to have a beginning, middle, and end. Its set up is very clear and the shape affects all other elements because it is like the background in a sense.

2. Language: The author’s choice of words, sentences, sounds, silences and figures of speech also suggest that this writing is a fictional story. The way something is worded and created suggests what type of writing it is.

3. Participants: The relationships, conflicts and changes that can be observed within or among the characters are between Jack and his wife and Jack and Scratchy. If the story was looked at from different characters’ point of view, everything would be told different and seem different too. From the author’s point of view, it seems that he is on Jack’s side.

4. Setting: The work’s situation in space, time and cultural circumstance influence the assumptions, actions, behaviors and events within the work. The setting presumes the behaviors, values and social understandings of being a hero in a town, having it be okay to have gun fights. It is totally a different time and place, therefore different thing are accepted.
