The setting in this book is very evident. There are two different settings in this book because of the different characters and their point of views. Both are described well with direct diction.
Ira: Ira is trapped in a car after being in a car accident and stranded without anyone to help him. He describes his surroundings as snowy and out in the middle of nowhere. Sparks does a great job of describing Ira's surroundings and whats happening around him. He does this on page 7 when he says, "It was dark and it began to snow, then snow even harder, and all at once, the road simply vanished. I assume I entered a curve-I say assume, because I obviously didn't see a curve- and the next thing I knew, I crashed through the guardrail and began to careen don the embankment." Ira is stranded on the side of the road in North Carolina.
Luke and Sophia: Both Luke and Sophia are at a rodeo out int he country where there is bull riding and a big party at a barn. They are surrounded by "country"people and "cowboys" who are all partying and dancing. They are in North Carolina as well.
I really like the way Sparks describes the setting and i can't wait to keep reading. I want to find out how all the different characters connect.
You did a really good job decribing the setting. It really painted a picture in my mind which made your blog very interesting while reading it.
