The question that is least likely to connect the setting and Kat's characters is "What languages do the characters speak?" While the language spoken can provide some context about the setting, it does not directly aid in developing the character's needs or experiences in the story. In contrast, questions about where characters sleep, their travel habits, and the time of year can reveal much more about their world and emotional state.
Example from a Disney movie: "Frozen"
-
Where do they wake up or go to sleep? This question connects to the setting because Elsa and Anna wake up in the castle of Arendelle, which symbolizes their upbringing, safety, and the implications of their royal status.
-
Do they travel often or stay close to home? Elsa and Anna's journeys throughout the film (for example, Elsa's retreat to the ice palace) illustrate their emotional journeys and growth as characters. Their travels signify change, emotional exploration, and self-discovery.
-
What time of year does the story take place? "Frozen" is set during a winter landscape, which directly influences the characters' experiences—Elsa's powers are linked to this setting, and her isolation in winter symbolizes her struggles with her identity and emotions.
The original question about languages doesn’t deeply connect to these aspects, as it doesn’t convey how the setting influences the characters’ personal development or circumstances.
