Blog Response #11
Each novel has a setting or multiple settings. How does your author create images of the setting? If you had to describe the time/place of when your novel takes place, how would you do this? Does the author use the setting to help develop the plot in your book? What particular images does the author create that are memorable? Is there a particular scene you can visualize, and why is this image so vivid?
**In response to the blogs, try to make connections with your novel's setting. How is your setting similar to that of other books?

I read the book Prisoner B-3087 and this book takes place in a lot of different settings. Alan Gratz does a great job of showing the different concentration camps and using descriptive words. My novel takes place in the 1940s during world war two. I know this because of the back ground knowledge. The author does use the setting to help the plot. One of the places that i see this is when they go on the death marches. Some images are the sells of the burning people and how people re frozen to the ground.
ReplyDeleteI think the death march is so easy to remember because it is such a big event.
DeleteMy setting is similar to yours because both of our books took place during world war 2 and my main character was in a prisoner of war camp.
DeleteOur books connect because at the end it says that people in germany believe that the Jews are the reason ghat germany lost WW1 so then they started the concentration camps and such.
Deletei am reading the book snow bound and it only takes place in one place not two but he also does a really good job in explain the good details and how they survive
Deletemy book is the opposite my author uses the characters to advance the plot rather than the setting my book doesn't really talk much about a setting they don't go very far in my book but they use a lot of description on the characters rather then the setting.
DeleteThe author in your book really made the story gruesome. He talks about how the body would re freeze to the ground which sounds really gross. i would not want to smell the burning bodies. Does he also describe in the book how they would smell?
DeleteMy book takes place in 1979, but in it, I also know some background information as well. knowing the information really helps me understand it well, and without it, I dont know if i would.
DeleteIve read lukes book before. I think the author does a great job explaining the setting. There is a lot of graphic content that he goes in depth in.
DeleteMy author creates an image for the setting by using very descriptive words. I would do the same thing to describe the setting because because it seems like it is the only way to do it for my book, "Football Champ". In my book the setting is very important because otherwise you have no idea what is happening. It is because there are so many settings. The particular image I can picture is when Troy is in the owners box of the Falcons stadium with the headset on trying to read the Seahawks offense. It is so vivid because I have watched so many football games and seen this view before.
ReplyDeleteMy book is similar to yours because mine also has a lot of settings and the settings are also very important to the book.
DeleteMine is not like yours at all. Mine has very little description except it is important to the story because its where they all live at for 12 days. I wish the author would provide more but they do not except when the kids would make a new area of the store.
DeleteMy book is sorta similar because we use a lot of descriptive words. Mine is just about people getting treated terribly.
Deletei read the book snow bound and he did a pretty good job explaning it in good detail but he could of did a lot better but he still did a good job explaing how they where lost in the woods and how he broke his ancle.
Deletemy book is similar with using descriptive words to describe things and uses them to be able to picture the characters and setting in your head well i like when the author does that because its easier to comprehend
DeleteOur books are similar in a way by saying it uses a lot of descriptive to make it feel like you are really in the book and they are also different because mine only has a few different settings not a lot of different ones like yours.
Deletemy book doesnt really have very descriptive words describing the setting, but it has a lot of detain when its describing the setting
DeleteMy book uses descriptive words to display the image also. The setting has a big part of my book because it would change all the stuff they do it it wasnt on the farm.
Deletein my book Slaughter House Five there are three settings in the book one of them is during ww2 in a german prisoner of war camp another is after the war while he is training to be an eye doctor and the last one is on an alien planet where he is in a zoo for the aliens to see. The author does a very good job of describing the settings one of them that sticks out is before the main character was captured he was crossing a bridge and got shot at.
ReplyDeleteMy author also does a great job of describing settings.
DeleteMy author doesnt do a very good job of describing the scene i dont think. theres no description about the places around them except when they make a new area look nice.
DeleteThere is some decription in my book but i like to read books like this so its easy for me to concentrate on books like these
DeleteMy book is also about war and my author also does a good job at describing the setting. I don't think it would be as good of a book if the setting wasn't as descriptive
DeleteThe settings in my book is kinda the same as your book because it is during world war two and in war camps.
DeleteMy book has alot of fighting like that one but how does he end up on the alien planet
Deletemy author also also describe the setting of the book very well
DeleteMy book also takes place in a Prisoner of war prison. My character was tortured was your's?
DeleteI read the book Monument 14 and and the setting stays in the same spot the whole time. It all takes place at the Greenway where the kids are all stuck. I dont think the author does a very good job of describing the scenes. The setting is important though because its where they are at the whole time.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is also important in my book because it adds detail to the text and makes it more interesting to read
DeleteI read the book My Brothers Shadow and this book takes place in a few different settings. The author does a pretty good job of describing the settings. She describe the house the hospital and the house very good I can picture the scene when Moritz visits his brother in the hospital. Because i have seen movies of soilders in hospitals
ReplyDeleteMy book is no where near like yours but i like when the author describes everything just right to be able to visualize what is really going on.
Deleteis this a easy book to understand and visualize
Deletedoes the author describing the setting can u picture it happening
DeleteMy book as two settings but the main one was the farm. The other one is in town at the movie show.
DeleteI read the book Kiplings choice and this book has a few settings. One setting is out in the battle field of world war one. The author makes it clear by explaining the the gas masks that they receive. He also explains the roaring of the bullets flying past above them. The setting does help develop the plot in the book, otherwise the story would be missing important parts and not knowing why hes injured. So far the most memorable image is john laying on the ground getting thrown in the air when a bomb lands near him. He always talked about how he could see the cracks in the dirt from being so dry.
ReplyDeletewhen he got thrown in the air could you visulize it like it was you or you were there
DeleteI am reading the book Foul by Paul Hoblin and there are 2 main settings in the book and the author really helps visualize it. The basketball court it the 1st one, the author describes it as old with creepy squeaky floors and old wooden bleachers. The 2nd main place is at Rhino's (main character) house. He said he has a old fashion room with white stained carpet and very blue walls.
ReplyDeletei feel like this book is a really good book with lots of detail and it is easy to visualize. i feel like the author really makes you feel like you are in the scene.
Deletethe book sounds interesting and would be something good to read but our books also don't have nothing in common
Deletei am reading the book snow bound and the author does a really good job explaining the settings and putting a good picture in my head of them in the woods running and trying to find help. they way he writes the story i can tell it was in the old time they because they take more then a week to find them.
ReplyDeletethe author in my book doesn't really go into detail about the setting but it feels like it is around the early 2000's when punk rock was popular but he uses the high school setting and uses the way people dress and the way they talk to decide the setting and time period. one thing that he helps visualize is just the way people talk and the things they wear but he really goes into detail about how the characters act and look and speak
ReplyDeleteThat is how my book is, i felt as if my characters talked in a southern way and as if the head cheer leader had a high squeaky voice.
Deleteso is this a easy book to visualize and understand
DeleteThe author of my book implies more through the way the characters act than describing the setting itself.
DeleteI think my book took place in the 2000s as well.
DeleteI am reading the book old yeller. the author creates the setting by explaining the outcome. once the author talks about anything he kind of just refers to what he is talking about and then thats what helps the readers understand. the author creates a great image in my head and i understand everything completly. I would say this is an amazing book to read
ReplyDeleteThe author for my book creates great images in my head as well. I loved the book that you are reading right now, and I think that it created great images as well. The author describes each action in detail and it feels as if you are there in the book with the characters.
DeleteIm reading Outpost and the author does a really good job does a really good job describing the setting. He decribes the surrounding area like how the forsest look cozy from outside of it but as you enter it it becomes more erie because it becomes darker and darker and is coerd in thorn bushes protecting the inside boarders. Or of the outpost how its ontop of a hill and can clearly see for miles protcting every feild and have a vantage point from any attack. Or how the town has a warm home feeling inside the big walls where everyting is lively like nothing bad is going on and does a great job decribing the warm colors of the buildings and the weather at a spacific time. He does a really good job creating a plot with the details and i can clealy visually see the freaks and just about ever scene of the book as im there with the charachters at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThe author sounds like he puts a lot of time describing the area and putting as much effort in as he can to make it feel suspenseful.
Deletemy book also takes place in the forest the author never describes it as scary
DeleteIn my book Finding Zasha there are 2 main settings in the book. The author creates the images so well. He describes the area as gray and leaden after the Germans have gone through Leningrad. I can describe the time and place of the book with my details the author gives me. He talks about the Germans taking over and by using my knowledge from history class this would be in WWII. The author likes to describe the setting very well. He talks about everything around him in the area and not just in front of him. I can almost visualize the scene where they are waiting for their ration cards and there would be snipers just shooting at them. This moment would be so terrifying and it would make me not want to wait in line.
ReplyDeleteAre books are the same cause we both have a 2 setting book were the character moves around during the book.
DeleteIn my the author does a really good job using descriptive detail to make it easier to visualize the book. He makes it seem like it takes place in the 1900's because they used horses for mostly every thing but when Will and Denny's dad came and picked Will up from Doc Siddlers he brought there farm truck. In the book a particular scene i can visualize is when Will is at the rodeo and he is riding the bucking bulls and gets thrown off. He really uses descriptive words and makes you really feel like you are in the book.
ReplyDeleteMy book also had something to do with a farm but mine was more closer to today then ours so its cool to see the two differences like old farm stuff your book must of talked about rater then mine was like newer.
Deletei am reading one fat summer. the author creates the setting by explaining what is around him and explains what he is doing. i would explain the book as a book i would think from the 80's.the author uses the setting in the book because they live on a lake and talks about the lake.
ReplyDeletemy book also explains the setting by telling everything that is around and how hot it gets in the setting of the story.
DeleteThe setting that is set up in my book, A Thousand Acres, is farmland. The novel is set up in Iowa and it talks about the different fields that are around. Most of them contain corn as well. The author creates images in the setting by using very precise words. The way the author wrote describes about how the men are expected to be in the fields and provide for the families rather than the women, who are expected to stay home and work. The women also are expected to help the men on the farm. Which shows that this novel takes place in 1979. The setting helps develop the plot due to the father having to split up all of his farmland to his daughters. So far the most memorable part is when everyone in the family is arguing in the room. I can imagine it really well because of the descriptive words and actions.
ReplyDeleteIts probably very easy to picture the setting because you live on a farm and know whats going on.
Deletethe book sounds good but doesnt relate with my book.
DeleteMy book Wuthering Heights contains farmland as well. Instead of Iowa, my setting takes place in Yorkshire England.
DeleteI feel like that would be very easy to picture because of the area around here is all farmland and we know what that all looks like.
DeleteTim Green does a great job on making you feel like you are there on the field with the falcons football team and everyone around you cheering for your team. In my book Football Champ there are many settings in the book. The kid named Tony is the play caller for the NFL falcons. The setting takes place in the falcons football stadium and him calling the plays. Then the other place he is at his school with the football team and trying to make the team to continue his career to the NFL. Tim puts many images in your head of the football games to him helping out his friends and winning games.
ReplyDeletetim green is very good at describing the charecters and makes his books easy to want to read.
Deletei have read that book years ago and i know what you mean hes very good at explaing in detail the settings
Deletethis book is one i would thing about reading and trying to get on the football team he has a lot of challenges.
Deletein the book the dark tower, the author creates the setting to seem like an old western story. i would describe it as like an old western movie because its mostly desert and mountains. the author does use the setting in the book because the main characters have to travel through the desert and climb mountains to catch up to the man in black. some images in this book are very memorable because at certain points of the book, i can picture what is happening. the easiest part to picture was when the gunslinger was climbing the mountain while he was only about 20 feet down from the man in black. this is the most vivid part because that was the moment that he was so close to what he has been trying to catch throughout the whole book.
ReplyDeletemy book has a similarity with the man in black with boomer where he was hanging of the side of the truck a few inches from the main character
DeleteIn my book Wild life the author does a very good job describing settings. The book started out in new york then goes to south dakota. She does a very good job of describing details. She spends lots of time laying out the scenery and painting pictures in your head. One scene i can remember is when Erik found the dog sleeping in the barn.
ReplyDeleteAre Books are like the same cause are books have to settings were the character moves throughout the book and does different things.
DeleteNew York is one of the main settings in my book as it relates to the main characters past before she got her powers.
DeleteWhy did your character move from New York all the way to South Dakota?
DeleteThe author for the book Old Yeller creates the setting by describing all the scenery where the aniamls are and old school everything. You could tell by reading the book its in the old times they run off wood fires and do everything for them selves. they dont even have a dotor or any medicenine.
ReplyDeleteThis book is a lot different then mine settings wise because it has pretty specific settings where mine is about a guy talking about his career.
DeleteGary pualsen uses descriptive words to shows images in Harris and Me. It takes place in like 1960 because they have a 1949 ford truck. I would describe the place as like a farm in the countryside some where in the Midwest. The setting is used because they used the farm to dumb stuff that gets them in trouble. The image i have in my head is Harris swinging from the hay loft with a rope swing. And i can remember it because it was funny.
ReplyDeleteThe rope swing shows the history too because barns used the rope to carry up square bales to the hay loft too
DeleteWonder takes place in 2012. the book plots out of a kid getting bulled everyday at school. As the school days goes on hes getting better with people and everyone is starting to want to hangout with him and sitting by him at lunch. this image is what i think of because it what i picture for the almost the whole book now.
ReplyDeletethe setting in that book would be easier to pictutre because we have been through school before and have a idea what its like
DeleteI agree with what Tyler said to its easier to imagine it or even understand it better when you have been though it or saw it happen before.
DeleteMy setting is very similar to yours with the being in a new environment and meeting new people. I also agree with Mary and Tyler as it is easier to imagine how everything looks and how everyone was watching him get picked on.
Deletei read the book perks of being a wall flower and the setting of the book is in there town and at there school there is charlie and his two friends he hangs out with and talks to. he hangs out with them a lot and get in trouble with drugs and start drinking a lot because he had to get off the pain off his friends death.
ReplyDeleteWhat town is it taken place in and why is the book called perks of being a wall flower?
Deletei think you could be a bit more discriptive there. like whats the size of the town and what mood is the book?
DeleteMy book Wuthering Heights contains a character just like Charlie in yours. Hindley went to drinking after Frances's death.
DeleteIm reading the book called This is the Day by Tim Tebow. In this book there isnt one specific setting but there is definetely a variety of settings throughout the book. Tim Tebow creates images by using very descriptive words and everything he says he has done, so he has a story behind everything he says. The time and place of this book was probably 2015-2016 because thats when his career finished and he wrote all about his career. One image that really stuck out to me in this novel was when he was talking about hurricane Irma and how he tried to help the state of Florida because he talked all about the Hurricane and how it impacted his career.
ReplyDeleteI read the book This is the day by Tim Tebow. Tim had many conflicts but he always managed to help with other peoples problems. Tim Tebow made the most of his life by helping others he helped out with Hurricane Irma. He also helped with a bunch of people in his community and around the area. Tim would dedicate is time to help anyone out no matter what Tim Tebow was always trying to help out with the community.
ReplyDeleteDose the book talk at all about his football career? or any of the struggles he had with the media?
DeleteMy question for Thomas is how does Tim overcome his struggles. Did he have a role model?
Deletethis sounds like a good book and sounds like a nice kid that helps everyone out.
Deletei read Allies by allan gratz ad it set its setting of d-day by hitting th reader with the dread of how you could hear the gunshots across the channal and how they all knew that very few of them would be alive tommorrow. just thinking of how big the day was. it set more of the setting with its mood and how horrible it was. but i loved reading every second of the book and i highly recoommend it.
ReplyDeleteMy book also described the sound of war. It said he mistook bomb shells as a thunder storm. Like your book described gunshots in the distance.
DeleteIn the book Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment there are multiple settings that effect the story. The main one is the School were they are raised and given their wings. The second is New York where they are looking for the institute where their information is. Both of these locations are important to the story because they relate to their powers and their pasts that none of them ever knew.
ReplyDeletewhat would your thoughts be if the author gave you a made up setting instead of a real setting like New York would the story be as good or not?
Deletemy book all so has a few key plots like when banks walks off the football team or when he joined the track team
DeleteIn my book, Dirt Road Home, the setting mostly takes place in the jail that Hal is in. He gets really into detail with the layout of the place, also what people are doing. The author does a really good job describing what is going on so you fully understand what is going on and can picture it the whole time you are reading. If the author would have left things out, you would constantly be lost on what is going on in the book.
ReplyDeletesounds as if your author does a great job with detail throughout your book. what would all change in the book if the setting was not as good how would you continue to be lost throughout the book?
DeleteI read Resilience a 9/11 story and the setting is basically distress and sadness because imagine the whole town of Manhattan just standing there watching the tallest towers in New York crumble like a jinga tower. He creates a image with pictures throughout the book and also in detail descriptions of the clean up process of the ruble. The images he instills in your head are the dead bodies being pulled from the rebel all mangled un identifiable.
ReplyDeleteI could relate to distress and sadness because my characters go through a lot in the book.
Deletemy book running loose has a setting of a small town with no colored people and a small school with the clossesed school being 30 mins away and the town is surrounded by woods this book is written in and older time mid 70 early 80 . the ather dose use this to develop the plot in the way the town see treats black kids . one image that is stuk i my head is the seen of the bridge with the side rail mising and the front of the car stuck in the river bed. i think this is so vivid is becouse of the tragety that had happend
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the book Stoner and Spaz. My author creates images of the setting by using descriptive words. I would say the time of my book is around mid 2000s. I would say this because they go to the ,movies a lot and still somewhat use vcr's. The author uses the setting to delvop the plot by using the movies because ben loves to go the movies. One of the images the author uses that are visible is when he describes bens grandmas Cadillac.
ReplyDeleteMy book also takes place about the 2000s
DeleteI am reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Because it covers multiple decades in its timeline, there are multiple settings created in the book. It takes place back in the late 1700's/1800's Yorkshire where women wore dresses and there were maids and slaves. This time was very old-fashioned and creates a gothic feel while reading. Emily Bronte describes the settings through descriptive sentences and lots of dialogue. You are able to visualize everything from the fields and farm to the darkness of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. When the characters faces and clothing are described, I can easily picture them in my head. I can remember Catherine coming home from the Grange very vividly for Heathcliff poor hygiene and dark tear streamed face.
ReplyDeleteMy book kinda has the same thing but not with the different decades but all the the different prospective's it is written from.
DeleteI'm reading the book Helter Skelter and it takes place around the summer of 1969 in Los Angeles, California. The author uses super descriptive words about the murders that makes you feel as if you at the scene of the crime right when detectives got there.
ReplyDeletedoes the murderer get caught?
DeleteThis reminds me of my book because my author is also very descriptive.
DeleteI'm reading the book A dogs journey by W. Bruce Cameron. The setting is at the farm or with clarity at different houses. The author created an image of the setting by being really detailed with what he said and how he explained everything. i would think it would be not that long ago because it seems like recent things and it does not seem like an old kind of book. I feel like he kind of dose because at the beginning and end clarity is at the farm so i feel the the dog brought clarity to where she really belonged. one particular image that was memorable was molly passed or when max found Trent's cancer.
ReplyDeletewhat happened to the dog that made this a journey?
DeleteMy author was the opposite he focused on the characters and drama more than describing the setting.
Deletein my book they care more about the siblings and their lives than the setting in the book.
Deletein the foxman Gary Paulsen uses the brightness of the wilderness to paint pictures in your mind. this book takes place in the northern part of Minnesota. one part that he showed a vivid picture was when carl first comes acrosed the cabin an it talks about the flowers and how bright they were. if i were to guess this books time period it literaly could have been in modern time of back in the day cause theres not really modern parts or themes.
ReplyDeleteI finished reading Boot Camp and the setting was dark almost as if you were in a jail cell. The author described the concrete walls being cold and hard. The food was soggy with no taste. Sounds like the way someone would discribe Jail don't you think? the time period could be present day because of the way that the boot camp had sensers and motion detectors. The image I really come into mind is the way the author discribes TI. I picture a room with all concrete walls with a light in the middle and a little darker color in the concrete from the way that people had to lay there in the punishment of there actions. For the most part the author had a great discription of the life that boot camp looked like.
ReplyDeleteI feel like your author did a great job describing the book and gives you an exact picture of what is going on.
DeleteI'm reading the book brave new world it takes place in the "future" were humans are genetically bred. The author is always moving the setting its not really in one place at the same time for to long for example the author does describe in the beginning on were they are at and that is in the hatchery and he does a good job painting a picture a picture for me on what it looks like but there are many different rooms in this facility but i can say that the author spent a few chapters at this other "city" or place than there own call the reservation and its a place in new mexico that is the complete opposite of there society and that stuck with me because in there society people are birthed and not genetically made.
ReplyDeletedo you think that the future would actually turn into this or would it be different?
DeleteI do think that in the future technology would be more advance than what it is right now, more new things would be invented that's for sure. I do believe at some point scientist would find a way to make humans and would be able to change them however they want. In some ways it does sound pretty cool but then I feel like that would give more power to the government.
DeleteI'm reading the book Captured by Alvin Townley, and in this book the author gives detailed descriptions of his the character's surroundings. He described what each place looked like and added a photo of the building. The book is a true story and the pictures were taken from a spy planes or released by the North Vietnam. The author does not say if it is day or night because he is in a cell most of the time. He just tells time based on feedings. Also, the author adds dates to tell what day it was. I can imagine what the Alcatraz prison looked like because he described the 4x9 foot box and had a map drawn by a former prisoner.
ReplyDeleteMy author also described the characters very well i feel like a little to much but i knew everything descriptively about each character now, my book is not a true story at least i hope were not genetically making humans, but my author gave little detail about the scene/setting but enough to know whats all going on.
Deletein my book Far From The Tree there are multiple settings one for each character in the book. the setting changes every chapter within the book. it goes around with each characters life and whats going on. if i could change the setting in the book i would just leave it as it is. how they make it as you are part of each of the kids life is easy to understand. but the jumping back and forth from each kid is hard to understand and would change that.
ReplyDeleteMy book relates with this because the setting changes multiple times. The main character Adeline switches to many schools and her family also moves a lot, that sometimes it gets confusing because it's not till later that she mentions who stayed back. Although, the author does described the settings pretty well, it helps me imagine how things might look like.
DeleteIm reading the book Among The Hidden, the setting is Luke lives with his parents and two brother in a house somewhere in the woods. Then all of a sudden the government wanted the land and what the government wants the government gets. The author creates a memory of the woods and what they used to be and how much they meant to Luke. Because the author describes very well how the woods looks and feels.
ReplyDeletemy book also takes place in some woods
Deletein my book Brians winter the author gary paulsen does a very good job of describing the setting. the book takes place in a remote forest in canada. the most memorable part of the setting is when he describes the lake he does a good job in describing the vegetation that grows around it and how the lake has a distinct shape to it.
ReplyDeleteI read the book "Falling Leaves" A memoir by Adeline Yen Mah. A setting that I visualized is when Adeline's family moved to Tianjin and she had to attend a new school, but got lost trying to walk back home after school. As she was walking she didn't know what way to take so she just followed the sidewalk she was on and that took her to the city. When she got in the city she was shocked and memorized by the streetlights, variety of different flashing colors, tall beautiful buildings, the buzzing noise of cars and people. Adeline's parents have strict rules and one of them is that after school the kids can't go nowhere outside of the house unless approved by them. So therefor she was shocked by how the city look like and so she took that chance to admire this one moment. The book has many settings but the reason I chose this one is because everyone knows how a city looks like and depending where you are some places can be pretty shocking to look at.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the book "Far from the Tree" my author creates the same setting in 3 different persons eyes so he uses many different ways to describe the setting. In one part of the book when Grace and Maya were meeting Joaquin for the first time, Grace's description of the art gallery was beautiful and magical but Maya's was to mush going on her eyes couldn't focus. I would probably connect with Grace's description more than Maya's so i would use all of the colors that popped out to me and the different shapes and sizes of everything. Yes very much so because the main plot id finding family. The image when they were at the art gallery was very vivid to me because it was the first time all 3 kids were finally in one room and see each other all together. It also described how much they all look a like and that gave a better and bigger picture in my head.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be very difficult for me to understand the different settings and different point of views.
DeleteI read the book River. The book was based off of out in the wilderness at L shaped lake. The lake was an actully and L and it was out in the wilderness where the lake was calm and nobody bothered them. Gary is very discriptive and that really helps me read the book because i can understand it alot better. The story takes place on L lake and they like the lake because everything is calm.Yes Derek gets stuck by lighting and he was in a come so Bryan had to take Derek 119 miles down rive to a trading post to get help. The images that Gary represents it shows what is happening and is very easy to relate. I really think this is a good book for someone in this class because Gary is a good author and is very discriptive
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the book The Forgetting and this setting takes place in a town called Canaan. It is on another planet and the author does a great job of describing the place they are at. She describes the town of Canaan, the the world outside of the walls, and the caves leading throughout the town and outside world. I think the description of the setting helps develop the plot because it helps you understand what is going on with everything. The cave that they find outside of the walls I think is the most descriptive part of the book because it goes into details very deep and tells you all about the different technology in the cave.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Monument 14 and setting is everything in this book. The kids are stuck in a greenway mart which is coincidentally right next to a chemical compound facility. Becuase of this they are affected heavily by the compound. It also in the future so technology also plays a part in the book and how the chemicals are made.
ReplyDelete
