how i describe 19th century? really olden days?
The 19th century was from 1801 to 1900. It was the time the industrial revolution flourished and many people emigrated from Europe to Canada and the United States.
Do you have more specific questions about the 19th century?

I've finished reading the story. The setting is a big old house in the 19th century.
This site explains why the author wrote this story.

thanks very much ms. sue:)
i not get what the weather be.
the mood/atmosphere i have to tell what feeling be created in beginning of story. it be dark and gloomy?
social conditions - what be daily life of character like? does story contain local colour(writing that focuses on speech, dress, mannerisms, customs, etc. of particular place)
she be isolated? i not get the local colour part.
The weather seems to be sunny and warm -- it's summer.
The description of the house in the beginning makes the setting seem dark and gloomy.
I don't think there's much local color. I couldn't tell where this house was located -- Canada, U.S., or Europe.
Yes, she's isolated. Her husband wouldn't let her go out. She's stuck in the ugly room and sometimes in the rest of the house or in the garden.
thanks very much ms. sue, what be point of view? i write it be human vs. self because character struggle with herself in her mind, she not know what be real and what be hallucination.
i also need help with characters
i not know who be round character in story and stock, i not think there be any. i write flat be jenny and dynamic be the narrator, and static be john.

jenny be flat because she keep to herself. character be dynamic because she undergo change. static be john because he not understand his wife.

The point of view is first person. The narrator is the mentally ill woman.
I think you can write about any character. Ask your teacher about this.
