BNW and BL Essay (1 Viewer)

[kyliej]

Can anyone help me on this essay question:

Explain how the settings of the texts reflect man's relationship with the wild and the contexts of the texts?

You should include comments on meaning, context and technique in your response.

Setting of BR: Los Angeles 2019, polluted (issue of 1980s), asianised (issue of 1980s), dark, technological (Spinners), rain (despair)

Setting of BNW: London, sterile, live in communes, technology (helicopters)
