10th Grade Check-In for April 21st: Setting

What time and place does your book present? How does it make the book better or worse? Is it interesting learning about a new place or time period from the one you live in? How might this help broaden our awareness of others?

    The time my book takes place in is modern day europe and in parts of london and france. i think it makes the book better to read because i have seen pictures of those places and can imagine where the character is. It is also very helpful in a way because the author makes a good image in my head about the setting. Also the Character travels to many places in the book as well.

    my book is took during the 2000s and is in the ghetto areas of new york. This gives the book a more adventourous setting. yes because there is a lot of violence and drama and relats to how they live down there. this helps people learn from others mistakes.

    my book represents current time. it makes the book better because it is talking about now and places i know about. im reading in my current time period. It would help broaden awareness by just showing what certain issues were like in other time periods.

    My book takes place in modern times and in the arctic. It makes the book better because it causes the main character a large area that has to be search to find a girl that was kidnapped. It is interesting to learn about different places because it makes the world more understanding on ideals. It will help us understand how people think and act about different situations in environment.

    My book takes place in modern day in Hollywood California. It makes the book better knowing there are stars and famous people in the book. Yes it is interesting learning about Hollywood but you don't really learn about the background of it. It should make people realize that no one is perfect no matter how pretty, famous, rich they are no one will ever have it so easy. People will have problem just because they don't have money problems really dones't make them at different from us.

    The time and place for my books setting is inthe 1980s and in calafornia. The setting is interesting because in calfornia at this time people were just starting to come up with a new sport it was called skaterboarding.

    My book takes place in ww2. It makes the book better because they would not be where they are if the war was not going on.You don't really get to learn about it because the move to Narnia so fast.i think it makes me thing of other by knowing what they when through.

    My book doesn't tell what time. It takes place at Charlie bone's house, and his school. He stays at the school until the weekend. If they get in trouble they have to stay there for Saturday too. Everything else seems the same as it does now.

    my book is taking place in korea. it is the korean war. it is about 1956 and where the troops are at are in the woods and it kind of leaves them with the feeling there being watched by someone or something.i think that learning about other countries is cool but sometimes boring. this makes you look at how people are diffrent from you and how you are different to others.

    My book takes place in the 21st century and it takes place at a high school. It makes it better because there are friends and others there. New places can be fun to learn about if you are interested in the place and they things around it. It broadens our awareness of others because everything isn’t just about you and things you do can affect others.

    My book takes place in New York City in the year 2000. It makes the book more intresting by showing the style of how she lives taking the subway or a taxi. Its a lot different than living in Buck County. Its helps me see how other people might act in different areas and live.

    The time of my book is in the summer during the football season. It makes my book better and it is in the same time so I already know about it. You never know peoples back ground and what they go through out of school.

    My setting is present times suburbs. Just a regular neighborhood, with normal high school boys and girls. This makes my book better because I think that if it was in the far past or future it wouldn't really make sense since they talk about styles and things that go on in the present.

    I agree with you that everyone is not perfect and its good that a book shows you that. Money and looks dont matter most of the time. Even if your rich and beautiful, you can deep down be a really good or bad person....it depends on who you are.

  24. my book is taking place in a ghetto area of the bronx in new york city. it is during the 1990s and the kids in the book are in a gang and this makes the book more thrilling and im more interested in books with action.

    The book Hunted takes place in Tulsa Oklahoma the time I think it's in the present. The timing and place make the book better because it's happening now and it's happening in a real place.
