본문내용

1. What is the setting of the story? What country is it set in? Are the characters speaking in English? What is the vernacular?
The setting of the story is a café which has two waiters and narrator describes it as “a clean, well-lighted café”.
It is set in Spain.
We can assume through the vernaculars that the characters are actually talking Spanish but the narrator transfers it to English.
The vernacular is a dialogue or narration written in the language or dialect spoken by the ordinary people of a country or region. In here, bodegas, hombre are the vernacular.
