In Book II of The Sun Also Rises, the setting of the novel shifts from Paris to Spain--the southeastern Basque region around the city of Pamplona, where Bill and Jake go for a fishing trip in the mountains while Cohn waits for Mike and Brett to arrive in town. What is the effect of this change of place? Is there any corresponding change in Jake's tone as a narrator? Is there a perceptible shift in Jake's general mood? How are these changes evident in the text? How can we distinguish between these two settings?
Take 5 minutes now to contemplate the change of setting from Paris to Spain in your notebook.
