I am currently reading The Story of Me by Rachel Kasey and I am on page 69. The main character is a 14 year old girl named Ashley who lives in Boston. She is musically talented by playing the piano and plans on going to the Juilliard school of Performing Arts for college. If this story took place in China and her family was poor, this would effect the plot greatly. If her family was poor, her parents could never buy a piano, so Ashley would never have played the piano so she would never want to go to Juilliard. In the book, Ashley's family aren't poor, but if Ashley got a scholarship, then her family wouldn't have to pay for college.
I am currently reading Divergent by Veronica Roth, pg.100. The setting of the book is in future Chicago, in the future.If the story took place some other time like present day the plot would drastically. The plot of the book wouldn't include micro chips and aptitude test with different factions. It wouldn't include leaving your parents.
Great blog rraisch6. Keep up the good work.
I am currently reading "Black Duck" by Janet Taylor Lisle, and i am on page 76. The main character is a boy named Ruben who lives in Rhode Island in the year 1929. He found a dead body that washed up on shore, and wants to explore and find out what happened and who killed the man that washed up on shore. If this took place in Georgia, most people wouldn't care about it they would just keep walking and focus on something else. If the plot of the book was in present day Georgia, maybe the man wouldn't have even got killed, and the characters wouldn't want to investigate.

I am reading Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, and I'm on page 273. The setting of my book is Gracetown, NC and the biggest snow storm in 50 years is occurring. The story takes place in December around Christmas time in 2014. I know this because the book is realistic fiction written last year, and all 3 stories involve something Christmas related. Christmas presents, Christmas morning, Christmas dinner, etc. Gracetown is just like any norma small town. There's stores everyone that the town's people easily recognize, a local high school, (Where most of the main characters go to.) and there's the one crazy person who everyone knows. (In the case of this story, it's the tinfoil man. He's always wrapped in tinfoil, and whenever he is questioned for wearing tinfoil around his entire body, he responds with, "What tinfoil?" )
@jwitter6 Great blog!
Good job @RRaisch6
I just finished my book dead girls don't lie, by Jennifer Shaw Wolf. This story takes place in the year 2010. The story takes place in Lake Ridge, USA. Jaycee just lost her best friend , she was murder by gangs, latino gangs. Jaycee is trying to solve what happened to her.
@snturner great post!
@Jwitter nice book you're reading there!
I'm currently reading The Line by Teri Hall and I'm on page 30. The setting is a mansion next to the border which is called "The Line". The whole book is about this girl is not spoke to cross "The Line" but she wants to see what's across the line. So if the setting chanced the whole story line would chance. And there would be no line.

@snturner3 good job very detailed
@rraisch6 I want to read that book now
I am currently reading "The People of Sparks" by Jeanne Duprau, and I am currently on page 20. The main characters of the story is Lina and Doon and they live in an underground village named Ember. They are both trying to help their village from war. The city also has inly 3 leaders. If this setting was taken somewhere else there might be more than 3 leaders. The people in the underground city might also not be at war.
Very good job RRaisch6.
I am currently reading Stung by Bethanny Wiggins and I'm on page 77. I am not sure where the place is doing taking place because my character woke up in the beginning of the story not knowing anything. She is just suffering in this camp where she is kept hostage. But if there was a different setting, I don't think I would change the plot of the story because the setting of this book (as I can tell) is not really important or "well known."
Nice job explaining the setting of your book jwitter6.
I'm reading Variant by Robinson Wells and am on page 201. The setting of the book is in a school that's basically a cage for the students. It's surrounded by a barbwire fence and a forest. The time seems pretty modern, because they have computers and tablets. I feel like if it was in an earlier time it wouldn't work because they would be able to find who's forcing them to do this or escape.
I am currently finished reading the book the blue dinjin of babalon. if i could describe the setting i would say very uptown new york and upstate homes near that area. Since ther are several settings i will give you another one a sandy hot and deserted dessert
good job rcortes5
magnificent work rraische6!
I am currently reading "Percy Jackson:The Sea Of Monsters" by Rick Riordan, I am on page:50. The setting of my book takes place in high school, though it does not exactly say where. The story takes place just a few weeks before summer, where Percy goes to his summer camp. If it did not take place at the end of school, it probably would not be actiony. If there was no camp half-blood (where Percy goes over the summer because he is a half-blood) then the story would be completely lost. The first book was based upon the camp because it describes when Percy first shows up to the camp.
@rraisch6
good job
@bhastings3
awesome job.
I am reading Passion by Lauren Kate and I am on page 132. The story takes place in many different places, so I will describe the setting she is in right now. Right now, Luce and Daniel are in Helston, England. I know this because it said it in the beginning of the chapter. She is working as a kitchen maid so the setting is a big dirty kitchen with a big stack of dishes to do. The people around her are all dressed in fancy clothes and she is not used to it. If it took place in a time where Luce was used to everything, it might not be as weird and unnatural to her.
rcortes5: Good Job!
snturner3: Nice Blog!
the book i am currently reading is unstoppable by Tim green.i am currently done.the story is about a foster kid named Harrison who has always had the passion to play pro football and was given a chance to moving into a foster home and his new dad is a popular football coach. the story takes place on a football field in an unnamed area that was not stated in the book however the area was filled with farmhouses so it has to be in a city full of landscaping areas.if time and place of the story changed the plot would have Harrison just dreaming about playing pro football in some foster home.Harrison would have never been were he is right now in the book.
great work @oyakel4
good Job @bhastings3
The book i am currently reading catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and i am on pg. 204. There' really no specific setting in my book, the book takes place in a lot of different places. But there in a district and its called district 12. There's a lot of different people in district 12, it's really just a big war between all the people. If there was an actually setting and a real place and the story would be more realistic then it is now.
@rcortes good blog
@jwitter6 good blog
I am reading Dangerous Waters by Gregory Mone I am on page 23. The story takes place on the Titanic during the early 1900's.I say the plot change would be the final book being stolen but I also got my sights set on when. The Titanic will start sinking that would surely change the story the whole dramatically. If the ship sunk the whole idea of protecting and stealing the book would change to a life or death situation.
@RRaisch6 great blog keep it up.
@jwitter6 books sounds very interesting great job.
I’m Reading “The Son” by Lois Lowery. I am currently on page 80. Claire was currently at a “Ceremony” For the children who have reached the age of 12. Claire saw the boy who was becoming the giver “Jonas” he is in charge of all of the memories in the past , keep in mind that he’s not used to be able to see color or actually love someone. I know this because this is a book that’s a follow up on “The Giver”.
@ RRaisch6 keep it up ! nice job on your blog.
@ jwitter nice job keep it up!
I am currently reading Forged by Fire by Sharon M. Draper I am on page 134. The setting of my book takes place in 1990 in Cincinnati. I know because in the first Hazelwood high trilogy Gerald was in High school. In Forged by Fire it talks about how he was a kid. If the story took place in a different time we wouldn't know about how his childhood was growing up.
@Jwitter6
Good job on your blog.!
@Rraisch6
Great job on your blog.!
I am currently reading Jackpot by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 68. The time period of my book is present time. And it is in Cedarville, New York. I know this because it has modern day technology and devices. If this book took place in a different time period Griffin and the team would not be able to use computers and technology the same way they do now. They would have to figure out another way to break into places and pull off plans as good as they do now.
jwitter6: Good job. Keep up the good work.
rraisch6: Good job on your blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am currently reading Inkheart {I forgot the authors name} and i am on page 60. The time period for right now seems that it is present time but it is too soon to tell. So far the place it is at is at their own home. I think it would be the same if it was at a different time. But the location change wouldnt make sense with what the story is about.
I am currently on the book called "Far Far Away" by Tom Mcneal, page 200. The author has had Jeremy in the setting of his bookstore more often than anywhere else. His family's bookstore is a small two-story building. The bookstore is filled with copies of his grandfathers book on all of the shelves. The two bedrooms are upstairs. The bedrooms are Jeremy's and his fathers. In Jeremy's room, there is an attic. Jeremy is in the attic more than his own room. The attic is a small, dusty room with fairy tale books covering the shelves. Jeremy has read almost all of these books.
@RRaisch6 Wow, Great blog!
@RCortes Good Job!
im reading my ishmael by Daniel Quinn and i am on page 223. The book takes place in what is most likely a city setting. Most of the book however takes place in a large and unkept storage room in the back of a building. I know this because the author spends the first part of the book explaining the area she is in and her financial status.
RRaisch6
who is me? The author or the main character?
The book I am currently reading is Masterpiece by Elise Broach and I'm on page 25.The main character is Marvin.Marvin is actually a beetle.He lives under an 11 year old boys apartment named James.The book takes place in New York City.It does not specifically say when the story takes place but it sounds like it's around this time period.I know that because of the things there family does and how they act.There is also a lot of dialogue in the book and they do not speak ''old fasioned'' or anything like that.
@RRaisch6
Exceptional blog keep up the nice work.
@rcortes
Pretty good,Nice book as well.
I am currently reading "The Daughters"by Joanna Philbin and I am on page 5. the story takes place in Manhattan in a very large machine. the only daughter of the supermodel Katia Summers is now wanting to become famous just like her mother. the daughter has not been introduced clearly yet in the book and I have only just started so I am not sure of anything but the basics. I am pretty sure she will become a model through out the book though.
great job @rraisch8
@rcortes5 amazing job on your blog!!
I am currently reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and on page 95. The setting of he book is that certain people from each district get picked to have a battle kinda survival thing. whoever wins, there district gets like a prize or something. I'm pretty sure the book takes place in the future. I know this because they have theses weird futuristic jets and like theses flying little robot cameras. If the story were to change it would probably go back into the past. The plot wouldn't really change that much. Because they would still have the Hunger Games but just not as advance.
@rcortes5 Iv actually read that book and i thought the same thing while reading it.
@RRaisch6 Good job on your blog and adding all those details!
The title of my book is FIRST TEAM by TIM GREEN and I am currently on pg.213. The setting of my book is school and the football field in the day time. I know this because in the book the character Brock said this a great autumn day. The story change in the story one time because the team had a game at night. Plot change the teams playing each other weren't getting as wet in the mud and slipping so we had to make effects ad put words that could pull it off. This book has been great so far and I hope to keep learning more as I read.
RRaisch6 did good on blog.
snturner3 did good on blog.
I am currently reading "Save the Cupcakes" by Lisa Papademetriou and am on page 110. The setting of my book is in Massachusetts and it is set in modern time. I know this book is in modern time because it seems just like what happens today, the schools sound like our schools and when Hayley is with her friends they talk about the same things that we talk about today. If this book was set in a different place then it would be the same but if it was in a different time then it would be different. If the book was set in a different time the plot would change because it it is supposed to be realistic fiction and not historical fiction or scifi.
@rraisch6 Nice!
@oyakel4 Good job!!
I am currently reading the book The Distance Between Us by Kasie West and I am on page 78. The main character is Caymen who is a seventeen year old girl that lives with her mom. The story takes place in Caymen mom’s doll store that sells various kinds of dolls. The book doesn’t specifically tell us when the story happens. If the story took place in a different time like in the future, the plot would change a lot. For example, Caymen’s mom would own a mechanical store instead of a doll store.
@emasio6 Good job!
@amountain4 Great details!
@JAtwood3 Amazing job
@MMercado6 I enjoyed reading your blog. :)
@JKim4 I've read the book On the Fence by the exact same author Kasie West. I might consider reading The Distance Between us now
I am reading "the Wide Window", and am currently done with it (sorry I haven’t yet gotten a new book I will try to get one as soon as possible). My book mostly takes place over a lake because that’s where the children’s adoptive mother lives. Which does not at all make sense because their a adoptive mother, Aunt Josephine, is totally afraid of the lake. This book never does tell you when, I do not know why.
jkim4 great details!
tbanks3 great job, I love that book!
I'm currently reading" far far away "written by tom McNeal and I'm on page 84.The main setting that takes place is this book is a small town where nothing normally doesn't happen. This book is set in modern times because they are normal people like now days and they just live in a small town that has a lot of things happening in it.Also the book plot changes by how they leave from school back to there house and to outside at night.The book doesn't have that many pages since I'm only on page 84.
@mmercado6
Good blog
Sounds like a good book.
@amountain4
Good blog
I am currently reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman and i am on page on 77. This book takes place in Portland, Oregon. If this book had taken place in a different place it would have completely changed the book. The main problem in this book is that Mia is all alone because she got in a car accident and her family died. The only reason the car crashed was because it was snowing and the couldn't turn or stop when they needed to. so, if the book took place anywhere else, like Florida for example they would never have gotten in a car accident.
rcortes5 great job!
RRaisch6 great job. Nice details :D
i am currently reading cover up by john Feinstine on page 255. The setting of the book is in the city either in Indianapolis or Boltamore because there having the super bowl in one of those places. The time it may have token place is 2010 someware around there. I know because of the event that happened. the event wouldn't have changed at all because its just an football game.
snturner good job
rrisch6 good job
I am currently reading Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, and I am on page 67. The main character is a 12 year old boy named Percy Jackson who lives in New York. Little does he know I am currently reading Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, and I am he is the son of the god Poseidon. He is then accused of stealing Zeus’ master lightning bolt and must find it and return it to Zeus in 10 days before it’s too late. If this story took place in Florida, and if he wasn’t accused, then it would more than likely make a big change in the plot of the story. If it took place in Florida then Percy and his friends would have an even longer adventure than they already had. If Percy wasn’t accused then he wouldn’t have these problems he’s having now. The only reason he WOULD go to Olympus would probably be to confront his father who abandoned him.

I am currently reading The Boy At The End Of The World by Greg van Eekhout and I am on page 23. The setting of my book is more in the future after the humans population have died. The main character in this book is a boy named Fisher, his age is currently unknown. Fisher's only companion is a robot. Fisher's job is to repopulate the human race. If this story was to take place during a different time he probably wouldn't have to do that task or have another one.
XMatos5 great job on the blog!
rcortes5 good job on the blog!
I'm reading the Alchemist and I'm on page 117. My story takes place in the middle east area above Africa. I know this because the the main character talks about going to the river crossing to Egypt. He also talks about his travels through deserts and small towns. The main character is a shepherd who talks of kings and royalty and strong religion and culture in his area, and this lets me know the story isn't based in modern time. If the story was in a different setting it would be a whole different book i think this because a large majority of the story so far is based on the culture and environment of the middle east and wouldn't make much sense elsewhere.
@RRaisch6 Good blog! I agree the story wouldn't make much since in China!
@amountain4 Nice blog! It seems you've made the correct assumption about the setting!
I finished the scorch trials by James Dashner. The setting is in a hot and dry deserty area. If they would be in a different place, I think they would learn about it. In this setting, they tried to put pillowcases over their heads to try to block the sun. If they were in the woods, for example, they would probably take advantage of the area to live.
@RRaish6 good job on your blog.
@Rcortes5 I read that book before, Good job on your blog.
I am reading The 100 by Kass Morgan and I am on page 20. My book is set in a post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear war. In this future, what is left of humanity lives on spaceships in Earth’s orbit. On these ships, all crimes are punishable by death, but only if you’re over 18 years old. If you commit a crime before that age, then you are kept in prison until you turn 18. When the book starts, 100 of these “juvenile delinquents” are being sent to Earth on what is most likely a suicide mission to see if the surface is still radioactive. I know this from the back of the book, which explicitly says all of it. Since this book is a post-apocalyptic, changing the time or setting would change the entire plot.
snturner3: Nice job
Bmcphadden5: Good blog
The book I am currently reading is “Four” by Veronica Roth, and I am on page 153. The setting of my book is what America would be like if we were in a enclosed environment, and we were separated in to factions. The factions are Candor, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation, and Dauntless. Candor is when you are kind and tell the truth. Erudite is the one who value logic. Amity is the farmers. Abnegation are selfless and dedicated to helping others. Dauntless is the police and soldiers. The setting is somewhat worn out and they aren’t allowed to leave. If they were in a different setting and had different rules the book wouldn’t have anything the same.
rraisch6 nice job. Good details.
rcortes5 nice blog.
The book I am reading is called Travel team by Mike Lupica and I am on page 208. The setting of this book is about a boy that plays for a travel basketball team. He goes to the tryouts and doesn't make, but he keeps on working to get better and eventually he makes the team. Then he becomes the best player on that team.
rabram2 good blog
Afarlin5 great blog keep it up
I am currently reading "scat" by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 212. The main character is a 15 year old boy named Nick. The setting is based probably in Florida. I believe it's based in Mississippi because they took field trip to a place called black vine swamp. Not to many states have swamps like Florida and Mississippi, the only reason I think it's not Florida because the book "hoot" was based in Mississippi also. I think he is 15 because in the very first page it states, "her third period biology class" , most schools don't teach biology till they are in 9th grade or so and most people are 15 by then. The book it's self doesn't say ether his age or setting.
------------------------------
nice blog! @rraisch6

write a little more next time :D @rcortes5
The book I'm currently reading is THE UNDERDOGS BY Mike Lupica and in on page 35. The setting of my book is football. And the year of this book is around the 18's or 19's, how do I know? Well it says the date and setting on my book. If my book was plotted in a different time period and date, then the book would be a while different story. And a different title.
Great detail and nice book @rraisch6
Great description of your book I would like to read it @rcortes5
I am currently reading "Schooled" by Gordan Korman and I am on page 64. The setting of my book is in school. The school is an old building that is not kept clean. The book takes place in the south, in present day. I know because on page 45 it says Capricorn is a farmer in today's society.
@rcortes5 divergent is a good book I said it last week but it really is. Good blog
@rraish6 Great blog1
I am reading "The youngest Templar orphan of destiny" by Michael P. Spradlin and I am on page 70. The main character is a teenager named Tristan with his friends Myran and Robard. In the book they are mostly in the forest to hide from people hunting them down. If they were in a town or a village then they wouldn't be hiding in the forest. Instead of hiding in the forest they would either have to hide in building or in alleyways to stay hidden from the people hunting them.
rcortes5: nice blog
jwitter6: sounds interesting
I am currently reading 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson and I'm on page 23. The setting in my book is my main character's aunt and Uncle's house. It has a barn and looks like a regular home buts it looks bigger than the barn behind it. I believe my book takes place around the early 2000's because the house is described like its in that time. Also, his Uncle says "Scrub those bones" instead of "Brush your teeth".
To RRaisch6,
Nice blog! I also play the piano. Well, not a lot but I do play it. I know part of Fur Elise by Beethoven.
I'm currently reading Wild Man island by Will Hobbs, and I'm currently on page 12. The setting of my book is in southeast Alaska and it's set in the old times. I know it's set in the old times because, I realized that they don't have the type of technology and resources we have today, there's a caveman in it too. If the time changed then it would've make a big different, because instead of my main character Andy being stranded on the island with a caveman, he could've called somebody to come rescue him.
My book is Fallen by Lauren Kate and I'm on page 23. The main character of my book is a girl named Luce a teenager who was sent to a border school accused of a crime. The story mainly takes place at a school called Swords and Cross in Savannah, Georgia that apparently keeps the children under supervision(it says it in the beginning of the book). I believe if you changed the setting of this story it would affect the plot dearly since the students that were sent there has either been accused of something or needs to be kept an eye on. Also without this setting I think the story wouldn't be as interesting.
KBaxter6 That sounds really interesting!
dwrask3 Great job on the blog!
To snturner3,
Ha Ha! That's pretty funny. Keep it up!

I am currently reading Coraline by Neil Gaiman, I am on page 12. The story takes place in modern time but the house she has just moved too was built in older times. The house has old features, old doors that have big rustic keys. She describes the yard and house very old looking the house is big and has many rooms, the yard is very over grown, the yard has a old well and a old tennis court.

I am currently reading The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan and I'm on page 113. My story takes place in the past in on The Sea of Monsters. I know this because Percy tells us towards the beginning of the book. The plot would change if it was to be in a different time because they could fly to where they needed to go instead of sailing. They also might of had guns or grenades to protect them on The Sea of Monsters.
RRaisch6: Great post!
RCortes5: I loved that book.
I am reading Loot by Jude Watson and I am on page 25. In the book a there is a person named Alfie McQuinn. The story takes place in Amsterdam that Alfie McQuinn falls from a rooftop to the wet pavement below.The book doesn't really tell us when the story happens. If the took place somewhere else like not the rooftop and the bed. He would not get hurt or he would not die.
@ RRaisch6 Great job!
@ rcortes5 Great job too!
My book is witch and wizard by James Patterson. I am on page 62. The story took place in Kansas but now the main characters got taken so we don't know where they are now.I don't know the time but if it took place now there would be no new order to take all the kids away. So they would live there magical lives in peace probably.
@yyoon3 loot is a good book. You r doing a great job.
Abedard6 that sounds like a good book especially if you are already on page 113
I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney and I am on page 80. The setting of the book is Greg's family going on a road trip. Right now they are just leaving from a terrible hotel they stayed for the night. All of this is happening in the month of June according to page 1. If they were not leaving from a terrible hotel and instead a better one, then maybe the family wouldn't be in a bad mood.
Great blog RRaisch6, keep up the awesome work!
Good blog tbanks3
I am reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner, and im on page 30. The book takes place in a place called the Glade, where only boys are trapped for some reason. Surrounding the Glade is a giant maze that shifts around every night. Then spooky monsters come out. Oh lawdy hold me. If this was set in, say, my school, then the guys would all have been killed super fast by the monster things. Fun times all around. This books is really dry, actually. I give it a 12/43, dont recommend.
Good blog @ABedard6 keep up the good work
Sounds like an interesting book @yyoon3
I am currently reading Rules by Cynthia Lord and I am on page 34. The setting in this book is present day Maine. I know this because this is stated in the beginning of the book. If the story took place in the future, it would change the plot dramatically. The main character in my book is a 12 year old girl named Catherine, who has to cope with her brother who was diagnosed with autism. His autism is essentially their entire family's main focus. So, if the future had some sort of treatment for autism, Catherine could lead a normal life like she had always wanted.
RRaisch6, good blog!
jwitter6, nice job!
I am currently reading A Job From Hell by Jayde Scot and I am on page 59. The setting of my book takes place in Scotland. If the setting took place any where else maybe like Florida than the mansion wouldn't be so hidden and discrete all secret in the woods on a large hill. Also it wouldn't be as cold as it is in Scotland. This would effect the plot by the hole creepy vibe that the book gives you.
great job on your blog! @jsmith4
Keep up the good work. @rabram2
The book that I am currently reading is called Percy Jackson and the Lighting thief by Rick Rordian and I am on page 63. The setting of the story takes place in New York. I know this because it tells me this at the beginning of the story. If the story took place back many years ago it would have really changed the plot by a whole lot.
Great job. Keep up the good work @cfuentes4
I am reading The City Of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau and I am on page 121. Ember City is a very dark and gritty place, actually quite depressing. We are not given a time when the story takes place. However, if the time were to change the plot would be different because right now, the lights in the city are all dying, If the story were in the past this wouldn't be a problem, and if the story is in the future they may just be living in darkness.
@jwitter6 Good blog!
RRaisch6 Great Blog!
The book i am reading is the adventures of tom sayer by mark twain. My book takes place in a rural area. I has a very old fashion type of tone to it. It takes place during 1876 and the reason i know this is because the book tells the reader. If this setting was any different then the people would talk differently.
Good job rraisch6
nice rcortes5
I'm finished reading The Kill Order by James Dashner. The setting of the book took place in Eastern United States, 13 years earlier. I know this because when I first open the book it says it on the far left side. If the story took place somewhere else or in a different time the plot really wouldn't change. The plot wouldn't change because every thing that happens in the book can happen in anytime and place.
Jsanford5 great details!
Aachristian4 great Job on your blog, keep it up!
I am reading "copper sun" by Sharon M. Draper, and I am on page 45. There are many different settings in this story, but one of them is the main character's village. If this was set in a different time period then it would alter the whole book because that's when slavery was popular and a everyday thing, so nowadays the things that happened back then would be non existent. Amari went through things that are illegal now. Also there aren't plantations anymore.
Dsmith4 good job
Jsandford5 amazing!
I am currently on page 256 of the book Flawless by Sara Shepard. The setting of my book right now is the Rosewood Day Elementary school parking lot. The story takes place in like 2007. I know this because that's when the book was made and it has hints in it like their phones Hanna has a Blackberry, and Blackberry's were more on the new side in 2007. If the setting were to change i thing that the plot would change because Hanna got hit by a car in the parking lot, and if they were in a building then that would be less likely to happen. What would happen would probably be like a BIG thing falling on her, or a person pushing her into something. Just something different and it wouldn't be the same.
@RRaisch6 Great job!!!
@rcortes5 Ive read that book and its really good!
I am currently reading the book "romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and i am on page 121. My book takes place around 300 years ago in Verona. If the setting were in our current time, I believe they wouldn't have died so easily. It's impossible to find poison. Also, Tybalt would've been thrown in jail for killing one of the guards.
@Sbrown4 great job on your blog
@jritter2 sounds like a good book
The book I am currently reading is "Sapphique" and I am currently on page 76. The story takes place (so far) in a building and this man is showing his power with this tool/item called "Sapphique." I would say the time of year would be the early 2000s, if not late 1900s. The plot would not change if the setting took place somewhere else. Using what I've read so far the story would just be in a different location, no real change in the plot.
Good Post Sbrown4
I am reading Daniel X 2 by James Patterson and am currently on pg.19. The setting of my book so far is the dessert Daniel and the gang are already on there way to defeating number 5 on The List. Shortly after they head to a dinner to discus the manner.“Are you sure you’re ready to go that high up The List? No offense, Daniel, but you got pretty lucky with number 6.” Daniel claps and there gone then on to continue his journey to number 5.
Nice job iharris5
Great Blog @RRaisch6
NICe! @ASantos2
I am reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rolling,and I am on page 722. The setting I am in currently in is Hogwarts Astronomy tower in the middle of an O.W.L. Ordinary Wizarding Level. There are no indications what year the story takes place though if I had to guess I would say somewhere around 2000 or in the late 1900's. If the setting were to change I think the plot would change slightly because if they were not on the Astronomy tower they wouldn't have seen Hagrid attacked by six people, or seen Professor McGonagall get attacked by no less than four stunning spells. I fhtey had been inside they wouldn't have seen this and they wouldn't have their hatred for Dolores Umbridge increase by about five fold.
That's pretty cool Sbrown4
Hey Gglover2 is that book any good?
Eldest, Christopher Paolini, pg; 538
The book takes place in a place called Alagaesia in the mid-evil times. If the setting of the story changed I think that the whole story would be different, because in the story there is a boy who finds a dragon egg and it makes sense because in all the fairy tales that are taking place in this time there usually is at least one time that a dragon is mentioned. Now if you took the idea out of the story and put it in a present day like NYC it would be completely different, because you never hear about a dragon being found in central park. So yes the plot would change a lot.
good job@sbrown4
thats a good book @kberry2
The book i am currently reading is called Downtown boy by Juan Felipe and i'm on page 86.My book take place in mexico and i'm not really sure when it is but i'm guessisng its like 20 years back. I know it takes place in Mexico because, everyone is mexican and they speak spanish. I guess itsa like 20 years back becauuse it doesn't seem that modern time.
I'm reading at this time is Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore and on page 52. The setting is a castle in the middle of a lush forest surrounded by mountains and a dessert. The story sounds like it's during the medieval age. People still live in kingdoms instead of cities, there is kings and queens, people use swords or bows as weapons, and castle are still being built. If the time and place changed then so would the plot and such. If it was in the future less people or important characters would die due to the lack of medical attention. No need for everyone to own and defend a farm or garden. Main characters would have an easier method of communicating with each other in times of enormous danger.
rcortes5: Nice job on everything and how it would change.
RRaisch6: Great job on telling what would happen if Ashley got the scholarship.
I am reading “33 Minutes” by Todd Hasak – Lowy, I am currently on page 20. The setting of my book is in a small classroom at an old beat down school. This story takes place in the present. I know because this school has everything our school has, it’s just a little smaller and a more rundown. If the story took place somewhere else or in a different time I think the plot would change a lot. It would change because a lot of technology we have today we didn’t have way back when, so it’d be a whole different story.
@tullah5 good job.
@sbarry1 nice blog.
I am currently reading the book “Four” by Veronica Roth, and I am on page 59. The setting of my book is what would happen if the nation was divided and you couldn't really contact the other factions. The different factions are Erudite, Candor, Amity, Abnegation, and Dauntless. All the factions are used to do different things and have different strengths. In the story the setting is based in the future, and is set off from the rest of the country that still has all the old cities.if the book were based in a different setting that a lot of the story may not make sense.
sbarry1 good details!
vnelson2 good job!
I am currently reading "skeleton key" by Anthony Horowitz, and I'm only on page 3. The setting of my book is in a nuclear dustbin, in the dark. if this story happened i a different time it would b the same.
The book I am reading is “Trails and Targets” by Kelly Eileen Hake and I am on Page 320. The setting of my book takes place in the west on a small farm in a small town called Devil’s Lake. The story takes place in 1889. I know this because in the very beginning of the book it states “late April 1889”. If my story took place in a different time frame than the Darlyn sisters wouldn’t be judged the way they are in my book. They are judged because they are young ladies who shoot guns, trick ride, shoot arrows, and knife throw. In today’s society that is considered as a skill not bad manners.
@jlennon4 outstanding blog!
@dkeaton4 marvelous blog!
I am currently reading Game Changers by Mike Lupica, and I am on page 24. The main character is a boy named Ben McBain. The story doesn't have a set destination, but by context clues I believe it is in a larger town. The reason for this is because there are several middle schools in his area and there are tons of kids in there town. If the story took place in a different place like a small town there would be less competition, and there wouldn't be a big conflict.
RRaisch6: Great blog this week!
snturner3: Sounds like a interesting book.
I am reading Truth or Dare by Jacqueline Green and I am on page 73. The setting of my book takes place in a big city. I can tell it does, since the context clues state how big the schools are and how rich the people were. The city where they live is also a popular place, because it was the place where three girls died at the same spot. They also live near the ocean, because they always take about swimming in the ocean and some of the characters are life guards.
Nice job mmoss6 very descriptive!
The book I am currently reading is After 2 by Anna Todd, and I just finished the book. The setting of the book is in Washington at WSU, the Washington university. If the book was set in a different place it would change the story drastically. Harry wants Tessa to go back home to England with him, but she wants him to live with her in Seattle. If it wasn't set at WSU they would have never met and they wouldn't be in conflict about where to go a live.
jlennon4 amazing blog!
@arizzo5 good job !!! sounds like an interesting book
@cmcknighgt4 nice !!
The title of my book is the comeback kids by Mike Lupica and I’m on page 238. The story takes place in a tiny little town with only like 200 people living in it. The year is around 2003. I know this because the reason they couldn’t go to the championship game is because there wasn’t enough money for the town traveling prices. I know it was 2003 because it said that he took out his mother old flip phone. If the setting would’ve been in a bigger town they would’ve been able to attend the championship game and probably win it.
nporrata5 keep up the good work
Kmanderino ive read that book before great job on the blog
In currently reading, it’s not easy being mean by Lisi Harrison and I’m on page 109.
The story takes place in a small country in a school called OCD High in. If the setting of this
Story would change. the story would have been confusing to understand. How people would reaction would be different from how they react to each problem going on in the story the currently. There would also be no clique to in intimidate people.
I am reading Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key by Jack Gantos and I am currently on page 43. The setting of my book takes place in a school kind if related to Ft. Clarke.But the halls are filled with poster made by the advance art group. The teachers at Joey's school are a lot more strict then they are at Ft. Clarke. Joey's school is in the of a triangle so each grade sixth, seventh, and eighth are divided into sections. I really enjoy reading this book and recommend it to a friend.
keep up the good work @rraisch6
nice blog @rcortes5
I am reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I am on page 87. The book takes place in America. The year is 2044. There is a global energy crisis and many people are poor and starving. If the story took place in a different area the plot would be the same. However, if it were a different time there may not be a global energy crisis and people wouldn't be poor.
@ggrayson6 Nice job in your blog!
@aparker5 You did a nice job!
I am currently reading Monster by Walter Dean Meyers and I am on page 109. My story takes place in a court house and a jail because right of the bat it tells you. If this story was set in a different place say like Mexico it would go very differently. Steve Harmon is on trial for murder and if he was in a different place he wouldn't even get a trial. His life would change drastically.
good job on your blog @ggrayson6
nice blog @xmatos5
I am currently reading the infinity ring by james Dashner, I am on pg.120. the setting of the book is the past in spain where Christopher Columbus was. if the story place in another time the plot would completely change. they wouldn't have no time travel devices or holograms.
I am currently reading Paper Towns by John Green and I am on page 125. The story focuses mainly on two seniors named Quentin and Margo. They both live next to each other and most scenes go on at school or their houses. It takes place in Orlando, Florida because in the beginning of the book Margo and Quentin go to Sea World and other places for revenge.

I am currently reading "Dead and the Gone" by Susan Beth Pfeffer, and I am on page 37. My story takes place in a Pennsylvanian town. The story takes place after an asteroid hits the moon and changes the sea. Life in Pennsylvania will change forever. The land cataelysmic changes forever.
Nice job rcortes5
NIce job explaining the setting.
I am currently reading Deep Zone by Tim Green and I am on page 60. The book takes place in Atlanta Georgia. This book is in modern time and the setting is normally in the Atlanta Falcons stadium or in the hospital. If this book wasn't in modern day time and it was in the past, like around the 1600's, then there wouldn't be football. There would be like Jousting, or Archery, or Fencing, and with those sports, unless you fall of the horse while Jousting, then I don't think you can hurt your knee bad enough to be put in the hospital with the possibility of never being able to play again.
@RRaisch6 Your book sounds interesting!
@jwitter6 Nice job on your blog!
I am reading QB1 by Mike Lupica and I am on page 22. The setting of my story is mainly on a football field and is modern day. How I know this is because Mike Lupica talks about Eli and Peyton Manning which are modern day football stars. The whole book so far has been pretty much on the football field so it wasn’t hard to find the setting. There hasn’t been very much settings so far.
TJohnson4 nice book.
NCrawford that sounds interesting.
I am currently reading "Evercrossed" by Elizabeth Chandler and I am on page 120. The setting in the book begins to be a warm beach life type of thing. It's sunny, airy, and summery. That is only after she moves away from a horrific scene of the main character, Ivy's, boyfriend dies. The setting takes place in Cape Cod. The story overall takes place in modern day time. I know because it makes references of things we only have today. If the story took place somewhere else or in a different time, the plot would change a lot. The overall event that occurs in the story is Ivy moving to a place where anyone would die to go to. The point is to go from a bad place to the best place. If she went somewhere else in the story, the whole book would be very dismal.
|@RRaisch6 : Great blog! Very descriptive! |
|@rcortes5 : Good response! I love that book! |
I am reading "The Giver" and I am on page 40. The setting is in a futuristic time period. I feel like if the story was taken place in a different place or time period the story wouldn't make sense. The children in the book get their jobs picked for them and their major life decisions made for them. I feel like in our world today that wouldn't fly. Too many people would want to make their own life choices.
PBennis2 That sounds like a really good book!
cmcknight4 Nice blog!
The book I am reading is the hunger games by Susan Collins I am currently on page 25. The setting is a very rural place with poor people. The setting takes place in 2025 America’s economy has fallen to its root. The setting is a very rural place with poor people is because every 25 years the government has a competition with sixteen year olds and they fight to the death for food in a big arena.i know because they tell you in the beginning and the girl has a poor education she has good aim because she hunts for her family every day all day.
nice blog cmcknight4
great job pbennis2
the book I was reading is called Hero by Mike Lupica. The setting is a very city like place like New York.

rraish6 nice job
rcortes5 great blog
I am currently finished with The Familiars by Adam Epstein and Andrew Jacobson. The setting of my book is "Vastia". Vastia is a large area where magic and strange creatures from medivial time are still around. The time period is some where around the medivial time period. I known this because familiars where believed to be around in ancient Europian times or the medivial ages. Good job Cbascom6
Good job NJLewis4
i am reading the sorceress by Michael Scott and i am on pg 5 and well the setting is in the city of London and well if things were back in the past so to speak it wouldn't matter because all they do is go to the city and hide i guess you can say and that wont change like alley ways and houses etc.
good job rohlendorf
I'm currently reading The Hunger Games, I'm on Page 73, and it's by Suzanne Collins. The setting is in the Country Panem. There are 13 states called 'Districts'. This is also in the future, year of 2025. I know this because it says in the book, and it gives me context clues on how to predict when and where the story takes place.
@qdjames Omg We Reading The Same Book!
@jwitter6 Good Job !
Nice job on your blog jhearn3.
I am currently reading Can't Look Away by Donna Cooner and I'm on page 50.The main character is 15 and her world takes a 360.Her sister dies and she moves from Colorado to Texas because of the death. If this story was to take place somewhere else I think Her sister probably wouldn't have died.The YouTube account made her feel like because of her videos her sister died.
