Answer 1

The character Caroline's development is influenced by the symbolic settings she encounters, such as train stations, the city, and her hometown, each reflecting different life paths and internal struggles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The character Caroline from the passage is affected by the setting around her, which plays a significant role in her development. The setting in a narrative creates a backdrop against which characters evolve and the plot advances. For Caroline, each location she encounters represents a different aspect of the challenges and opportunities before her. For instance, train stations symbolize points where she could either move forward or retreat in life, reflecting her internal struggle. Likewise, the city offers a dual conception of being a place to grow and mature but also harbors dangers that one could succumb to, thus molding Caroline's interactions and decisions. The train station also envelops her in turmoil, as it conjures feelings of shame linked to abandonment of her family. Lastly, her hometown evokes the warmth, love, and support she longs for. This juxtaposition of settings allows Caroline to navigate through her personal journey, symbolizing various life paths she might take.

Answer 2

The city is portrayed as a challenge for Caroline to either use its advantages to mature or to succumb to its dangers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Caroline Meeber (sister Carrie) is an eighteen year old lady who left her village in Wisconsin in search of a green pastures in Chicago. She was out to pursue her dream of wealth and fame.

The setting of passage 1 is a Chicago-bound train where Caroline, leaving home for the first time to stay with her sister, battles with her thoughts - how would life in the city be?

Nostalgic feelings of home are some quickly replaced with her expectations of city life - lights and sounds of a fast-paced city, moving cars, big houses and mansions, fame and affluence.

Even though Caroline was naive in thinking, her tastes and desires were certainly very high. She was also nervous and a bit fearful not knowing exactly what life in the city would offer her.
