Towards the international fall, along the Rainy River that separates Minnesota and Canada. He spends night the in his car behind a closed-down gas station in Minnesota, half a mile from the border to Canada. He looks out in the wilderness and passes by a motel and a bait shop, and the unfolded country filled with pine and birch sumac. Piles of yellow and red leaves are laying around the unfolded countryside. Though it's still august, he tells that it feels like fall, and that he almost can smell october, football season. Everything was crisp and clean, the sky was blue. He pulled into a old fishing resort in Minnesota called the Tip Top Lodge, and he tells it wasn't lodge at all, just eight or nine tiny yellow cabins clustered on a peninsula that jutted northward into the rainy river. The place was a sorry place, he wasn't surprised. There was a dangerous wooden dock an old minnow tank, a flimsy tar paper boathouse along the shore. The main building, which stood in a cluster of pineson high ground, seemed to lean heavily to one side, like a cripple, the roof sagging toward Canada. Tourist season was over, and there were no boats on the river, and the wilderness seemed to withdraw into great permanent stillness. ]]> 2019-01-15 12:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320708736 Setting Description - Mads A, Rasmus, Sofie og Lili theapplejhon https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320709294
He passes through Bimidji, International Falls, a closed down gas station, a motel and a bait shop and drives along Rainy River. It takes a time span of 24 hours.
His urgency is displayed heavily in the descriptions of the feeling of being inside his car in the beginning of the paragraph and the time passes by fast just like his inner thoughts.
Just like his mental state he is physically further and further driving into the wilderness, between two possible life choices shown as the edge between Minnesota and Canada, represented by Rainy River.
In the wilderness he finds a calm place, he finds a place to relax and focus in his mind that is otherwise in great conflict. The Tip Top Lodge is a place the protagonist escapes to to run from his troubles but it keeps reminding him of the fact that its only a temporary sanctuary.]]> 2019-01-15 12:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320709294 Nicolai, Emilie, Grum og Marc https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320709311 1. The road along the river had a few bait-shops and motels but other than that it was mostly empty, just the river, Sometimes as wide as a lake. 
2. Tip Top Lodge was in reality just eight or nine tiny yellow cabins, Generally in bad shape. There was a dangerous wooden dock, and some sort of boathouse along the shore. The main building, stood in a cluster of pine-trees on high ground. 
3. Pine and birch trees all around the Tip Top Lodge. 
4.Canada, was just on the other side of the river.

Physical:

  • The excerpt of chapter 4 takes place in the summer of 68’ close to the canadian border by the Rainy River at a run down place called the “Tip Top Lodge”. The following quotes that are mentioned describe the are, for instance:

“Near dusk I passed through Bemidji, then turned northwest toward international falls.” page 45, line 4 “...I headed straight west along the Rainy River, which separates Minnesota from Canada…” page 45,line 7

“The place was in sorry shape” page 45, line 21

  • The “Tip Top Lodge” consists of multiple cabins etc.

  • The surroundings are mainly full of wilderness 


Emotional:

  • The “Tip Top Lodge” was a turning point in Tim O'Brien's life where he determined his future, an important memory. page 51-52, last line-line 1-9. 

  • The setting is peaceful but at the same time emotionally dramatic. Many thoughts on morals in relation to participating in war is discussed in the excerpt. Tim O’Brien encounters a stressful period where he also experiences paranoia, page 47 line 21.  

  • An atmosphere opposite to war

The place was in sorry shape. 
-What he means that is that the place was clearly that the place had been in use for many years.

There was a dangerous wooden dock, an old
minnow tank, a flimsy tar paper boathouse along the shore. 
  • What it means is that all the things there are in Tip Top Lodge is in a bad condition.  

The main building, which stood in a cluster of pines on high ground,
seemed to lean heavily to one side, like a cripple, the roof sagging
toward Canada. 
  • here he is describing how bad a shape the house is in it is in so bad shape that the house is lean towards canada

The man who opened the door that day is the hero of my life
  • here he is describing the people on the Tip Top Lodge 
  • Tim meets this extremely generous man that helps him no questions asked helps him.

2. The man who opened the door that day is the hero of my life.
3. I couldn't tell up from down, I was just falling and late in the night I'd lie there watching weird pictures spin through my head.
4. The money lay on the table for the rest of the evening. It was still there when I went back to my cabin.
5. I was ashamed to be there at the Tip Top Lodge. I was ashamed of my conscience, ashamed to be doing the right thing.]]> 2019-01-15 12:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320712683 Ben, Grenaae og Ellen https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320713993 The description of the area is unpeopled rawness and woodlands.The point of no return is when Tim have to choose if he goes to Canada or not. The moment of the decision is very tense. Tim looks to the past and the future. The atmosphere is tense, because of battle inside Tim. The lack of conversation makes it easier for Tim, because he doesn’t need to explain himself. During the times when Tim and Elroy are together he makes the surroundings brighter, everything seems happier. ]]> 2019-01-15 12:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320713993 Johan, Jon og Silas https://padlet.com/ef5/o8g4gcsjvr51/wish/320715021 O'Brian stumbled upon a old lodge named Tip top lodge in minissota by the boarder of canada, it was in the middle of august. It was out of season and in the wildernesss so it was only him and the old keeper there, so the plase was filled with a permenent silense. The Lodge laied nex to a lake which boarderd up to canada.
O'Brian is extremly torn between leaving his old life behind and avoiding the draft for military-service. The old keeper is very accepting of O'Brian and issnt pussing him to do anyhing he does not want to do, like talking about why he is there by himself.

  • description of the physical setting: he is by the Rainy River in Minnesota, on the border between Canada and Minnesota 1968.
  • He describes the place as very wild, with only 1 shop/hotel close by, the air is crispy clean and everything is quiet. 
  • He describes a familiar smell, a smell which reminds him of the football season. (good/bad memories). 
  • He feels accepted and not as alone as he did in the beginning. because of the familiar family setting, he feels slightly more calm for the first few days.
  • “Elroy Berdahl was no hick. His bedroom, I remember, was cluttered with books and newspapers.” - the house wasn’t very organized, which is very opposite to the military standards
