The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley Settings create shortcuts - a novel or a film set, for example, in Paris in 1944 comes with expectations that enrich the writing and give it instant depth.

fantasy childhood toys could be real? This question was answered when the iPhone app, Pokémon GO, was first announced. The core mechanic of the original Pokémon games was the same for over twenty years: collect all the adorable Pokémon (short for “pocket monsters”) around a virtual world.
