It takes place at the Big Top Mall and the video arcade. The setting is important because it gives us mood, for example when Ivan was sad he wasn't thinking about why he was sad (losing his family) rather he thought about tv. Sometimes when he's bored and the kids see it, they throw crayons and paper inside the craft hole and he mostly draws bananas and bugs.

The setting is in Ivan's domain which is in the Big Top Mall and Arcade at Exit 8. We think it impacts the story because if Ivan was in a regular setting (zoo or jungle), the events might not be as typical for Ivan as one in a jungle or zoo. Ivan has moved around so he has experienced other settings but this is the one he is in now.

It impacts the story because he doesn't have any gorilla friends. Also, because he doesn't live in the wild he doesn't have any other gorillas to take care of. It's kind of strange because gorillas don't belong in a mall. Ivan is cooped up in a small place, he doesn't get any fresh air.

The story takes place at the Mall Video Arcade.  Most Gorillas live in the jungle, but he lives in a small enclosure with glass and walls.  There are other animals there, but he is always lonely.  He thinks he is the only gorilla left on Earth until he sees one on TV. We think that he should be in the wild.

The setting takes place at The Big Top Mall and it also describes his domain, his cage.  It is painting a picture, setting the mood so far for the story, it is sad.  We feel it is sad because he thinks he is the only gorilla, he can't leave his domain, and he only has a few items that he plays with.  We also felt it was sad that he can't remember his dreams.  He was given a stuffed gorilla, he named it No Tag, because his sister was named Tag.

The setting is Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, in Ivan's "domain." His domain is a cage with three glass walls and one cement wall. The setting feels sad and lonely because he is there by himself and he wishes he was in the jungle with other gorillas. The boring setting also makes Ivan do some funny things, such as eating his crayons and throwing "me-balls" at people on the other side of the glass.

The story takes place at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade conveniently located off of I-95 with shows at 2:00, 4:00, and 7:00.. The setting impacts the story because there are a lot of people who come in off the interstate and can visit another time. Ivan lives at the mall and it is hard for him because he doesn't experience daylight or have other apes to interact with, only the other animals (elephant, dog, parrot, and sun bear). It is not Ivan's natural habitat and he has been in the mall for 27 years. By being the only ape in the mall, he starts to think he is the only ape left, until he sees the gorilla on the t.v.

The story takes place in an old mall. Ivan says, "...some stores sell new things...Some stores sell old things, things that smell dusty and damp and long forgotten." We think he's talking about himself and his friends when he's saying that. He also describes his enclosure, which impacts what he does and how he feels. He references the bright colors of the jungle
