Setting

Setting - time and place and any special details that seem to relate to the story's development. Elly Weaver 3rd period- I found that in the first chapter, the setting of time was different than the setting in the other chapters. I wonder why that is? To me it's kind of confusing that there are to different time periods (Modern and Civil War era) but rereading really helped. But, for the main part, the setting is the Northern United states (not sure on the state...) in the 1800's. I'm going to guess they weren't as North as we are in Pennsylvania because they have a slight southern accent, which is the way the book is written.

Kaylie Strouse 5th Period- I also found out that the setting of time was different then in other chapters. It confused me because at some parts I didn't know where they were and what they were talking about. I had to go back and reread several times. But the setting is in the United States (Northern). And in 1819 or around there. I think they were in Illinois. Riley Greene- I think that they are in Illinois and that is were they live. But can anybody tell me what Devil's Backbone is and were it is at? I was wondering that also. I'm not sure where it is. I don't remember them saying where it was either.
