I think you`re in a hurry so let me give advice.
Blue letters are the examples.
Sorry, I haven`t read your book so I have no idea what the content is like, but I suppose you should only write the important symbols. Symbols that might have to do with the theme of the story. Same with irony. (Only if there is too much)
I think the important thing about the book report is that you write it concisely, so just pick up the most important ones.
About the settings, again, I have`t read your book so I cannot give you the exact advice but, let me do my best.
If there's so many places to pick up, for example, one story takes place in Town, Somebodies house, airport, in the airplane, in a different country, and back to their home country again.
I don`t think all the places are important in this story. There should be a turning point in every story so you might need to pick up that.
Or else, I don't think you have to write the location specifically, perhaps it could be abstract.
Write down just 3 or 4 important factors: around 1919, after World War 1, taking place world wide, especially in America (America could be where the turning point was.)
Sorry to say this in the last, but I think the best thing for you to do is send a email and ask Dr.Armstrong.
It would also be helpful if other people would reply as fast as they can.
