4. Revise and edit the paragraph. Ensure that it uses correct parallel structure. In conclusion, Steinbeck uses the different settings in "The Chrysanthemums to help us
understand the main character, Elisa, more fully. We learn about Elisa by observing her
connection to the chrysanthemum garden, her interactions with the stranger, and her complex
feelings are revealed while she is traveling in a car. We might think that setting is just the
backdrop of a story and not important, but when we pay attention to the clues an author gives
us about a character's motives, feelings, and behaving in different ways under different
circumstances, we see just how important the setting is.
