pg. 150

The setting in book is Odessa, Texas. It is a town in Texas that has been described as one of the worst places in the nation to live. It is a barren wasteland. The weather is always hot, and it may not rain for weeks on end. It states that the only reason someone would want to live there is for the small town atmosphere and Permian football. If the setting were changed, the book would change drastically. The fact that Permian football is why they stay there would be depleted. It makes sense that someone would endure terrible living conditions to play for Permian. If it were a nice place to live, everyone would live there and the small town feeling would be gone. They would have to build more schools and there would be an uprising because no one would wasnt to go the new school. Kids would want to wear the black and white of Panther football.
