What textual evidence supports the analysis that the
setting develops the character's bravery?
how shall i tell what i saw? i wont carefully, my strung
bow in my hand, my skin ready for danger. there should
have been the wailings of spirits and the shrieks of
demons, but there were not. it was very silent and sunny
where i had landed the wind and the rain and the birds
that drop seeds had done their work--the grass grew in
the cracks of the broken stone. it is a fair island-no
wonder the gods built there. if i had come there, a god, i
also would have built.
-"by the waters of babylon,

"there should have been the wailings of spirits and
the shrieks of demons"
it was very silent and sunny where i had landed"
it is a fair island no wonder the gods built there."
