UTA Element of Setting in The Chrysanthemums Discussion

Post a comment of about 400 words to your group’s forum that follows one of these two instructions (you pick which prompt to use):

1. discuss how some element of setting in “The Chrysanthemums” helps us further understand Elisa or;
2. discuss the effect of her gift to the tinker when she later sees it discarded in the road and how that integrates with the setting

Be sure to anchor your comment with specific textual evidence from the short story. Try to relate your comment to any preceding posts, especially the ones that are most relevant to your ideas. Try to agree (and extend) or disagree (and pose an alternative). Don’t simply repeat to agree with a previous post without adding anything or disagree without posing another reading. Avoid summarizing what happens in the story (assume we all already know).
