Directions: Thoughtfully and insightfully answer one of the questions below using textual evidence.
1. What does the name Starkfield suggest about the setting? How does Herman Gow corroborate (support this) later in the prologue?
2. How is the narrator/engineer not representative of the other characters in Starkfield? Can the reader trust what he tells us?
3. What is significant about Herman Gow and Mrs. Ned Hale in the story?
