Why her mom was acting so strange. ¨“Um, I thought you were going to pick me up from the police station?” I ask. “Oh, can you just walk home?” she says.¨ and ¨“Oh, but you could sit here and watch tv instead.

For example, the only significant 'setting' in Eraser Tattoo was the fact that they lived in brooklyn and that Shay was going to be moving to a different state. Besides that, the setting had literally no impact to th story. So thats why it depends on how the story is written, because the story could be made to show the significance of setting or to just tell a story. ]]> 2021-03-11 21:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300253299 the setting is imortant in storys because thn most the time it makes the person and the thing there doing make more scence like for exsample is they were in school they wouldnt be running but if they were outside then is would make more scenc https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300256206 2021-03-11 21:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300256206 https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300256234 A connection I can make between Eraser Tattoo and Kodamas Ramen Shop is how there is a teen who has problems going on with other characters in the book.]]> 2021-03-11 21:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300256234 https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300257025 Setting is significant in a Eraser Tattoo because without it, there would be no problem. For example, the text states, "He had never heard of Wilmington, so he figured it was far. Figured it was a place buses couldn't get to." This shows the importance of setting because when Shay is moving, she is leaving behind a place she grew up and everyone she met. This strikes up a problem because Dante knows that he would get to see her as often.]]> 2021-03-11 21:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300257025 https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300260208 A short part of Madi Lyon's story: After The Crash, takes place at a high school party.

Only now I can walked and have learned to talk in full sentences" This shows character development not just mentally but physically which was really important. The main character was now able to walk and talk and say whats one her mind and this changed her future because now she can do whatever sh wants and say whatever is on her mind. ]]> 2021-03-11 21:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300264984 https://padlet.com/skcooley/w5z8zvdqcd5zgws7/wish/1300265375 I think it's important because you can develop theme, character, dialogue and so may things from setting. Without setting the story, book, writing wouldn't be as exciting and interesting.

with all the reasons they wouldn't, and why would you even 
think like that, Shay added, "Not that we will or that I want 
that, because I don't. But .
