In the readings by Gian Pagnucci, he uses plenty of detail on the setting or surroundings of the story. In his first short story called, "Maxwell Street Days" he is very descriptive. He sets the tone for readers to actually feel like they are in Wisconsin on Maxwell Street in the middle of Maxwell Street Day. He allows his tone to make the reader feel very welcomed at this event. He was very descriptive in what the street day entailed so that the reader could imagine it themselves.
In the stories by Michael Ondaatje he sets the tone for the setting of his stories very well. In the short story or poem called, "On Her House" he explains the setting very well. The tone I understood from this short story was that the "house" was rather welcoming. The writer explained that the man couldn't feel lonely if he tried since "her house" was so welcoming. She was always having people come in and out. Towards the end of this short story the tone changes slightly from welcoming to curious and possibly a bit worrying. The last line states, "I remember how frightened I was the first time he came in." This gives me a sense of curiosity and worrying. I feel that the blank spaces Ondaatje leaves in between each mini paragraph gives me a sense of calmness or letting the reader know not to rush and completely take in what he is trying to explain.
