ABSTRACT

This paper aims at providing student writers with a framework of evaluating setting makeup of their own manuscripts from readers' eye. The process is divided into two parts; specific evaluating elements of setting makeup are examined by synthetic reading and analytic reading. And then the setting makeup of a real work as an example is analysed on the base. The evaluating standards are ‘Unity' in the synthetic reading, and ‘Preciseness’, ‘Coherence’, ‘Affinity’ in the analytic reading. And the synthetic evaluating elements of ‘Unity' is presented as ‘Is the setting presented vividly?' and ‘Is the setting contributed to present the theme?'Next, the analytic evaluating standards of ‘Is the setting presented vividly?' are ‘Is the objective accuracy maintained?'(Preciseness), ‘Does the setting go well with story character?', ‘Is the setting description in accord with point-of-view restriction?'(Coherence), ‘Are the details presented specifically and clearly?', ‘Are there any redundant words or phrases?', ‘Are the sentences clear?'(Affinity)And the analytic evaluating standards of ‘Is the setting presented vividly?' are presented as ‘Does the setting makeup form a consistent atmosphere?', ‘Does the setting makeup have a durability?'(preciseness), ‘Does the setting description reflect the feeling of the viewpoint character?', ‘Does the setting function as a part of plot?', ‘Does the setting harmonize with the tone?'(Coherence), ‘Doesn't the information of the setting weaken the tension of the plot?', and ‘Aren't there any description for description?’(Affinity). With the evaluating standards mentioned above, Kim Chewon's Winter's Illusion is analysed. Using sensitive and specific details creating a psychological setting with vivid images, it attracts readers into the story. And it portrays a character the psychological setting forms and brings up. Trough presenting a snowing scene as a consistent setting, it forms the story atmosphere, proceeds plot, and makes the story compact with showing the character's growing up symbolically, and represents its theme properly. As a result this novel can be a work that the effective setting makeup is greatly contributed to get its originality.
