Hit and Run

by: Lurlene McDaniel

pg.50-180 finished

The setting of this book takes place in the town of Asheville, North Carolina in present day time, but it is spread out in many places throughout the story. It starts on a cold, dark night in the mountains when the main conflict happens and then switches from the big school of Asheville High to the hospital. The setting is very important especially in the beginning, because if it wasn't dark outside or on a mountain then Quin would've been able to see Analise and wouldn't of hit her. If the setting would have changed then most of the story would be different. If it wasn't placed in the mountains then the main part of the book wouldn't of happened and the book wouldn't be interesting at all.

The Mentor Leader

By Tony Dungy

Pg. 80

My book is different from a lot of books. It doesn't really have a setting. The Mentor Leader mostly talks about the principles of leadership. There isn't a lot of setting in this book. It is informational, but Tony Dungy tells stories to help get his point across, so if there is a setting in one section, it will most likely change in the near future. In one of Dungy's stories, the Colts football team is at their stadium signing autographs on fan day. Other times it talks about their times in practice or Dungy's previous coaching job in Tampa Bay. The setting isn't a huge part of this book, and it changes often, so I don't think that it would affect the book if the setting changed. It talks about general principles that work for all people and is more of a teaching book than a story, so if the setting changed, the principles would still stay the same, unless maybe it was a different culture with completely different values.

Sam's Letters to Jennifer

by James Patterson

pg.110

This book starts off in modern Chicago where Jennifer, the main character lives and works. She has a nice apartment which is far to empty now that the love of her life is no longer there to share it with her. Before you can learn too much about her life Jen runs off to a relaxing lake side suburb where her grandmother, Sam, lives. But Jen isn't there for just another friendly visit, she's there to visit Sam in the hospital who has just gone into a coma. There is also another setting you experience from the letters Sam has left for Jen. It's the setting from her past, the lake side house from years before. The setting could easily be changed to California without much change to the book but one detail needs to stay the same where ever the setting is... it needs to have a place to surf since that's how Jen lost her love. That loss is what makes her who she is.

The setting in this novel takes place mostly at home. They spend as much time as possible at home because they love to be with each other. A little time is spent at the hospital when Patrick was involved in the car accident. They also spend some time at Ty's soccer games and playing outside. For the most part, they are inside their house. If they did not spend as much time in their house together, it would seem like they were not such a loving family. They love spending time with each other and cherishing each others moments, and that is what this novel is about: family and the obstacles they must overcome.

Return to Paradise
By Simone Elkeles
End of book.

The main setting in this book is the dorms Maggie and Caleb's Re-Start group stays at. If the setting changed, the entire plot would change. They had to be forced into a dorm with eachother and other people, or there would be no conflict. They also had to be with Damon, or they could never convince Caleb to tell his secret. The other setting is Spain, but we don't actually read about it much. If Maggie didn't go to Spain, then Caleb and her would never realize that even when they are far apart, they were still meant to be.

pg. 198

The setting in my book takes place mostly in the school Ever and Damon go to. Also it takes place at Ever's house, Damon's house, and Summerland. If the setting changed, some of the plot would change. If it wouldn't take place at Ever or Damon's house, Ever would have to find a new place to learn new tricks for being immortal. There is no specific place marked in the school that has to be in the book if the setting changed. The most they talk about the school is when they are in classrooms. As long as part of the setting takes place in a school, it would work out fine. Summerland really doesn't matter if the setting changes because you can just manifest a portal to go there...It doesn't matter where you are at.
