Entry #2

Annie, The Hunger Games

       The setting of the Hunger Games is in Ddistrict 12(the Seam). District
12 is crawling with coal miners heading out to the morning shift.
Katniss and her family live at the edge of the Seam. This setting
impacts Katniss and her family because they only have to pass a few
gates to reach the scruffy field called the Medow. The Medow is where
Katniss and Prim find food. This is a huge impact where they live so
they can scavenge for meals they need to not go hungry.


Isaiah, Peak

     Hot, Heavily polluted, and bustling with activity. This is a basic description of Thailand where Peak Marcello is sent after his criminal acts in his homeland of New York force him to relocate. Upon arrival, Peak goes through a flurry of tests, visits a temple, and meets a new friend named Sun-Jo who will help him summit the beast of a mountain known as Mt. Everest.

Jamie, Peaches

     The setting for Peaches takes place in the town of Georgia where Murphy and Birdie live. Murphy lives in a Trailor park, but she moves in for two weeks with Birdie in a different setting. It's a big impact because Murphy is use to living in a Trailor park, unlike Birdie who lives in a normal house. It will take time getting use too for both of them, especially Murphy. As for Leeda she just basically lives in a snotty neighborhood that affects her attitude as well.


Olivia, East

     The Christopher Killer is a novel by Alana Ferguson set in the small town of Silverton, Colorado.
17 year old Cameryn knows she wants to go into forensics and persuades her dad, the local coroner,
to let her be his assistant. The book is usually set in the morgue or the scene of a crime.
The book is set in present time because of the update technology the investigators use.


Tiffany, The Boxes

    In Annie's world, everything seems dull and unfortunate.  She lives with her grumpy aunt. The house isn't fancy but instead a little broken down.  She lives in a small town in the present day.  It is a little smaller than our own home, Oak Harbor.  Going back to her home, the battered house affects her life because her aunt complains about being "stuck" with it.  By her aunt reminding her that she could maybe be living a wealthier life, Annie has the hardship of finding friendship and love.


Yzabella, An Abundance of Katherines

     The setting is in  present time. This helps the characters because they use modern lamguage, and it helps with a more teen-friendly vibe. They seem like collage students, and they use a daily language we can relate to.
