SETTING
The story takes place in the general greater Maryland area. While there are very few consistent places in the novel due to A waking up with a different life each day, there are a few similar settings that go to show how similar each of our lives really are.
For example, every body A is in throughout the novel wakes up in a bedroom. While each bedroom is very different, in essence most are about the same. There’s a bed, a closet, clothes, and other bedroom furniture. However, the way the bedroom is decorated or how clean each room is expresses something unique about each person.

The Starbucks seems to be very busy every time it appears, which could be symbolic of A’s life. In a Starbucks, especially a busy one, people come and go and one tends to forget the bustling customers shortly after they leave and go on with their respective lives. This is much like how when A is in a new body, A usually stops thinking about the person they were a day ago, and while A’s life may seem chaotic and impossible to manage to an outsider, A is so accustomed to it that they do not pay the difficulty of their life too much attention and just manage it …show more content…

The story takes place in a city in the year of 2053 A.D. Cities are imagined to be busy and energetic at night but in this city it is portrayed as deserted and noiseless as the author wrote ¨To enter that silence that was the city at eight o'clock of a misty evening in November...¨ Author Ray Bradbury goes on to explain the setting in several different parts of the story like that the ¨cement was vanishing under flowers of grass¨ or the ¨...cottages and homes with their dark windows...¨ to give an image to each reader. The setting can create a mood or an atmosphere- a subtle emotional overtone that can strongly affect our feelings. An example would be “On a dark, cold night in November 2053, the pedestrian - Leonard Mead- walks alone through the city. The streets and freeways are deserted. Dark tomblike homes line the streets.” Bradbury uses mood and details to explain how dehumanization and technology ruined the society that the character Mr. Mead was
This book has many different settings. The main setting of this book would be described as a small town. In this small town, it is very similar to Norton, Virginia. It is similar to Norton because everybody knows everyone and everyone knows about all the gossip right after it happens. The other settings include the party where Anna and Ellen drank before driving drunk. The crash site would be a significant setting in my opinion because it is where the most tragic event happened. I would conclude the hospital, where Ellen spent almost a month and Anna only spent a few days. I would also conclude Ellen’s

In the book to kill a Mocking Bird the story takes place in Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb County’s setting was different depending on the weather. During the rainy weather grass was growing on the sidewalks, and the streets turned to red slope. During the hot days there were flies under the shade.

The coffee shop I decided to do my observation was the well known Starbucks just a couple blocks away. The reason I chose this coffee shop was because of it 's style inside, it attracted me. For example, one side of the wall has a glass top, and the lower part of the wall, made of wood and painted in a bright red color, which was one thing that attracted me and stood out. Outside of the shop people can actually see through the glass wall and get to see what’s happening inside of the coffeeshop. By the entrance you see these two red ceiling lamps which were shaped in a flower bud and these two tall green plants. Once you were in, on the right of the shop there was a counter with food and things to put in your drinks such as milk, sugar, chocolate, etc and the colors and how the food was displayed and served was appealing to my eyes. Behind that counter there was a long table with different electronic devices plugged into the wall. On the middle of the those there is a fridge just for ice and when I turned to the other side and I noticed a big menu on the wall. Further more into the shop, there was an area filled with tables, chairs, and sofas. The tables were in different shapes, one was round and the others rectangular, also there was four bamboo baskets and I looked around and noticed that the walls in that area were decorated with paintings.
