One of the first settings was the camp where they were staying which was fairly small with three or four tents set up around a campfire. Another setting they are in is the lab where the virus was created, which is where most of the animals with the virus are locked in cages. Also the overall setting, the Kalahari desert, “Pack light. Water is the most important essential--once we leave, what you carry is what you get, and that's it. There are no boreholes, no streams, not as much as a puddle” (Khoury, 43-44). Sarah explains to them before they go looking for dad and Theo just how rough it is in the desert. They are in danger of many things and on top of that there is not water anywhere so they all have to bring enough for themselves. Another thing the author discusses is the characterization of all the characters. The main character, Sarah is characterized as an optimistic person even when others are angry, “ ‘He didn’t hurt you. See?’ I held up a piece of bread, which the monkey snatched and gobbled up… Miranda sobbed ‘ it attacked me!’ ‘No, it just wanted-’ ‘leave her alone’ said Kase” (Khoury, 23-24). Sarah is kind and positive throughout the whole book even when things look bad and everyone is yelling at
The setting was cluttered with upside chairs and a dark blue color all across the stage. I liked that everything was cluttered to represent the feeling that the characters did not what to with their life. The setting was boxes stacked on top of each other of both sides of the stage. I didn’t like their setting structure because I only felt that it matched with the waterfall scene in Puerto Rico.
This thrilling chapter in the Narnie series is suspensful, adventurous, and exciting and it teaches one the importance of courage and faith in one's self.

This story takes place at the Zuckerman’s Farm and Fairgrounds. Something that I noticed about about the settings is that each setting has a unique way to contribute to the story. I would like to live in these places because then you can experience what is surrounding you and you can enjoy life without no distribution of electronics. The author used descriptive describe the settings. When I read “ When they pulled into the Fairgrounds , they could hear music and see the Ferris wheel turning in the sky . They could smell the dust of the race track where the sprinkling cart had moistened it ; loons aloft . They could hear sheep blatting in their pens.” When I read this I could visualize everything if I were there on that moment ( White 130

The setting and atmosphere bring true emotion to the reader that allows people to possibly get a glimpse of what that kind of life might be like. Survival is a consistent theme that is shown throughout the novel. The conflicts each character faces brings inspiration to the reader and reminds you that maybe what we are going through right now might not be so bad. Works Cited Donoghue, Emma. A great idea.

The setting in the movie differs from the setting in the short story in a few ways. The setting in the movie dives into larger detail in many of the scenes such as in the beginning flood scene. The flood scene setting in the movie reveals an eerie, strong, storm with a flood that resembles a river and flashing scenes of antique Indian statues, whereas in the story, Rudyard Kipling plainly states that there was a flood. Personally, I also felt that Rudyard Kipling leads you into thinking that many of the settings appear one way, but they do not seem this way in the movie. Some specific examples of these settings include the house and garden. The house...

The Lion is one of the most powerful and fearless animals in the entirety of the universe. It kills anything ruthlessly and without mercy, some even kill their own young. If it wasn’t obvious, the Lion’s mind is very different compared to ours to the language they speak to what they think and feel, but maybe some Lions are not the ones we see in the zoo. Just like how some monsters are not the ones under the bed, maybe the true Lions are the people walking around on two feet. What if they have the face of a man or woman? What if they are the ones seen on the news for the horrific actions they have committed? What if the Lion is the person children are taught to prepare for and be terrified of? What if the Lion is the true fear of all parents?
In the beginning, the narrator, 13 year-old Matilda lived on the Papua New Guinea island Bougainville during the 1990’s. A brutal civil war had just broken out. A blockade was put on the island. No one was aloud in, and no one was aloud out. The Bougainville villagers were then cut off from their power and medical supply. All but one white man had taken off with their wives. Without proper care “the littlest kids came down with malaria and there was nothing that could be done to help them” (Jones, page 10). They were held captive on the island with nothing left but the island itself and each other. Completely isolated from everything else in the world.

Jimmy was six, light brown hair and baby blue eyes. He was a happy child, despite his parents fighting every night. He didn't know any better. This was normal for the small boy, not that everyone agreed with that. He was attached to one thing the most, a small stuffed lion, about the size of a grown man’s hand. It was given to him by his grandfather when he was born. He slept with the soft creature every night, holding to close to his chest. The trees outside
