Which places inspired each author in Ex. 1 to
write their novels?​

Ex. 1 is referring to a previous exercise where the students were given a list of authors and their corresponding novels. In order to answer the question "Which places inspired each author to write their novels?", we need to identify the authors mentioned in Ex. 1 and analyze the settings or locations mentioned in their respective novels.

To begin, we need to refer back to Ex. 1 and identify the authors and their novels. Let's imagine that Ex. 1 mentioned the following authors and novels (this information is not provided in the question, so we will create fictional examples for the purpose of this explanation):

1. J.K. Rowling - "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"
2. F. Scott Fitzgerald - "The Great Gatsby"
3. Charles Dickens - "Great Expectations"
4. Harper Lee - "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Now, let's research each of these novels to determine the places that inspired the authors:

1. J.K. Rowling - "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone":
J.K. Rowling was inspired by several places while writing the Harry Potter series. The most prominent location in the series is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was inspired by the author's time spent in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Additionally, other locations such as Diagon Alley and Platform Nine and Three-Quarters were also influenced by various places in the UK.

2. F. Scott Fitzgerald - "The Great Gatsby":
F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "The Great Gatsby" while living in Great Neck, New York, which is located on Long Island. The novel is set in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg, which are inspired by real-life locations on the North Shore of Long Island known for their wealthy residents and extravagant lifestyles.

3. Charles Dickens - "Great Expectations":
Charles Dickens drew inspiration from various locations in England for his novel "Great Expectations". The story is primarily set in Kent and London. The marshes of Kent, specifically those near the River Thames, play a significant role in the novel and are described in vivid detail as the home of the mysterious character, Abel Magwitch.

4. Harper Lee - "To Kill a Mockingbird":
Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" is set in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama. While the town itself is not based on a specific real-life location, it is inspired by Lee's own hometown of Monroeville, Alabama.
