The setting of my book right now has been changing constantly. When i started the book alex was being captured and taken to a secret location. This was a kinda like a foreshadowing to what would happen later in the book. This was the whole first chapter and then it went back to the previous 24 hours. Alex was in a hospitle because he was recovering from being shot in a previous book. He ended up getting into some trouble with 4 men and after he beat 3 of them up the fourth one knocked him out and took him to some old abandoned appartments. He was held here for a couple days and then the building was set on fire to try to kill him. alex mirackulously escaped and now he is back in the hospitle. overall the setting in in England. It is summer, and it is taking place during modern times.

I think that if the setting of my book was changed it wouldnt change the book very much. it seems like alex always finds a way to get into trouble and getting hurt. weather he is in a different country or a faraway land he will still be doing the same things.

The setting of the book is a small town in the middle of the eastern states. They are not located on the coast and that is a good thing because they would be dead if they were. THe moon has made it flood all over the coast. There town is tiny and has only 5oo people in it. Everyone knows everyone and if the setting changed then the people would lose there good nature and the town would lose its rustic charm. I think that if the setting were in a big city, many people would be fighting and there would be more chaos in there everyday lives. The small town also holds everyone together. People dont leave the town , they try and wait for things to get better, grow there own food and live alone from the world.

The setting of the book takes place in many different places, but a continuous place for the killers to show up is at humongous houses owned by rich families. In Sansfrancisco, California i'm sure you can picture how large the houses are for those that are well of money wise. The author describes the houses with flourishing gardens, vibrant colors, and a knack for catching anyones eyes. Another main place is the cheif detective's, Lindsay, apartment where her and her boyfriend Joe have just moved in. Their apartment is small and cozy, but they are very comfortable with it and appreciate what they have.

If the book took place in a different setting it could possibly make the connections with the location suffer. The villains are burning down houses of rich people, and this is partly because California has so many forest fires. Where it is also shows that even where crime is worse than usual, good police are fighting to stop the criminals.

My book is titled Fade To Black so far it has been pretty interesting the setting of it is in a car, school, and the guidence counclers office. The main character in my book is Alex and he is HIV possitive hahahahaha sucks to be him but anyway thats besides the point. My favorite part in the book so far is how he got his windshield bashed in with a baseball bat! He dosent know who it was and thats what he's doing now in the part im reading he's trying to find out who did it.

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.

The setting in my book is early 1900s based in England. It usually takes place in battle or at John's house. He is always at camp training others and writing back and forth to his parents. It is in the woods and in battle. If this wasn't based in England and was based in United States I would be able to understand it better. If it was more recent I would understand the time period and what it would be like to live during them.

The Game of My Life

My book is set in upstate New York, about 4 years ago from present time. In a school, home of an autistic kid who's accepted my everyone. That school is Greece Athena. The school that bares black and gold. There's a kid that loves more to wear those colors more than anyone, Jason McElwain. His peers and community are very accepting if him and his disorder of autism. If they were not accepting of him it could make an already tough life ten times tougher. People in the upstate area often stare at him, but the ones at his school and that are close to him see him as normal as possible. He's just a little slower.
