Independent Reading Post 9

Prompt: 17
Chapters: WHOLE BOOK

Neither Here Nor There is a book that is not rich in symbols and themes and big ideas. It's rich in description and setting, as a travel diary should be. Everything that happens and that is discussed in the novel is a result of where Bryson is, thus setting is probably the most important aspect of this story. The people he describes, the events he partakes in, and the other cultural aspects that he describes are all based off of the setting. Therefore, the plot is based off of the setting. A travel diary should be primarily based off of the setting, so this book conforms very nicely to this.
