The Lemonade War Setting

The setting reflects the emotions of the characters and foreshadowing twists and turns in the plot. Wells additionally uses POV to create suspense in paragraph 37 “Their hands came together on the back of the chair. ‘Here it is!’ he said. She had an impulse to warn him in an undertone, but she could not frame a word.

Setting is very important because without the setting there is no initial story. As a reader a person cannot read a story without it having some sort of time frame or having a reference to where the story took place. The setting also shows that the characters in this story have to undergo different problems than other people in the world for example, “…complaining about the drought

While the issues regarding poverty are addressed in both the books Make Lemonade by Virginia Wolfe and “South of the Slot” by Jack London, each author has a very different view of the life of the lower class. In “South of the Slot” the lives of the lower class are heavily romanticized while Make Lemonade provides a more grounded and unsettling look at the struggles of the lower class. In "South of the Slot” the protagonist Freddie Drummond is a wealthy sociologist who becomes fascinated with the carefree way of life of the impoverished workers he studies. Make Lemonade on the other hand is written from the perspective of Verna Lavaughn, a penurious student who attempts to look after a young mother Jolly who is struggling to raise her children

Setting is where a story take place. It's important because it makes conflicts possible, and moves the plot forward. Setting influences conflict, and conflict impacts the character causing plot progression. For example in Tangerine, because Tangerine has lightning strikes, muck fires, and sinkholes this has caused a lot of conflict that changed characters, and developed the plot, which impacts the novel. Setting in a piece of literature impact the overall experience a reader has with literature, and if the story took place elsewhere then the whole story would be different since characters would respond differently. For example, to me the setting in Tangerine impacted my experience since knowing the place I could predict would could possibly

The setting in this story played a very important role in setting up the entire story. Not only did it add character it made even more intense and real in a sense. The setting in my opinion is the most important part of the story because it gives the reader a feel of where they are at and what they wake up to everyday and what they go through. It gives us an inside to another world we have never seen before. For instance in the story Famous all over town, the setting is in a lower class Chicano town called the Barrio. Its one of those towns that people who weren’t from there were afraid to drive by or even go through those streets. The town was full of gangs running a muck, and all most everyone owned a gun. The setting was not the nicest setting to read about but it

Setting is a very essential part of the novel. The setting helps set the mood for many situations and allows the action to be much more exciting and compelling. Thompson does an incredible job at changing the setting just enough amount of times to keep the story very enjoyable. He, of course, also does an incredible job at describing the setting which allows for the mood to be greatly impacted. Roy Dillon lives ¨in a hotel¨ which immediately gives the a mysterious and secretive mood to the reader (15). The reader is given the hint that as a conman Roy Dillon should be very careful about how he lives his life. The hotel as well makes the reader think that Dillon is hiding something from the public which makes him mysterious as a character. Later in the novel, Roy Dillon goes on a type of vacation with his significant other, Moira. ¨Roy rented a car at San Diego¨ which allows for a much lighter, fun mood for the time being since they are in San Diego where many relaxing beaches are it hints at a laid-back mood as well(140). San Diego is viewed by many as a dream vacation, or an ethereal destination which impacts the reader greatly. During this vacation the reader shown more deeply into the lives of the characters. Thompson uses this for the characters to develop within the setting, it allows for the readers to see a whole different side of the characters. On the whole, this is one of the many

People often think of family as positive, loving, and with no flaws. However, there is almost a stereotype that all families love each other and there aren’t problems or challenges in a family. Sometimes families put people through challenges and some families aren’t “perfect”. In the book Make Lemonade by Virginia Euwer Wolff, Jolly has two kids and goes through challenges with her family. Most careful readers can see how Jolly has these challenges with her kids and how she is far off from the “perfect” family. She goes through many of these challenges in life and finds a way to overcome them. Jollys family shapes her identity because the challenges she faces ends up making her stronger. Jeremy and Jilly challenging her, LaVaughn helping her out, and her past family all shape her identity.

Literature is a very explicit term that includes so many time honored written masterpieces. A narrative would be exceedingly dull if nothing ever occurred to the characters in a specific surrounding. One of the key elements that affects the plotline are the various major settings throughout the story. The setting is the scene in which a story takes place, which involves the time, the location, and the natural environment. It can also greatly affect the plotline of the novel and the mood of the characters. It can easily create the tone, or atmosphere, of a certain scene in a story. The characteristics of a setting pushes the audience to gain a feeling of the tension a character must experience, and thus the suspenseful tone is developed. There are two major settings that take place in A Prayer for Owen Meany, which greatly adds to the novel as a whole. They are Gravesend, New Hampshire and Toronto, Canada. These two locations are vitally connected to the distinct time period, which deeply explore the roles the characters play and how they are perceived by characters like John Wheelwright and Owen Meany.

In the story, "The Last Rung on the Ladder", Stephen King does a great job of showing how the setting impacts the characters, and how the setting affects the climax.

The setting in this film is Beverly Hills located in California. This setting is particularly relevant to the film because it gives explanation and background to the mannerisms and language that the characters in the film use. This setting also adds to the slight idealistic atmosphere that surrounds the characters and plot of the film. Weiland (2013) believes that an “incisive intro of the setting serves not only to ground readers in the physicality of the story, but also to hook their interest and set the stage” (p. 339). Clueless (1995) exceedingly accomplishes this task and continues to use the setting to hook the audience throughout the

The setting creates the enviornment for the entire story, the time and the place. Every single part of the story revolves around this. What the characters look like, how they talk to eachother, where they live, what is going on around them. The main conflict is even determined by the time period and where in the world it takes place. For example, the story "The Cask of Amontillado" is set in Paris, France around the rennaissance era. but theres more to the setting than just that. "It was about dusk one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that i encountered with my friend." This describes more about the enviornment around the characters in the beggining of the story. Then the setting shifts,"Its walls had been lined with
