Prompt: • Is the setting described well enough that can put a picture of it in your mind?
Why or why not?
This week I read about how Lena is starting to become more and more "strange". When she broke the window in class, by accident, she ran from school to her house. When she got there she was sitting deep into the woods. While she was there, Ethan was at school and he get like he could hear her saying "leave me alone" and "don't come". But Ethan knew that he had to go, so he borrowed his friends car and then drove to go get Lena and talk to her. He found out that she was really talking to him through thinking.
Ethan got to Lena and they were talking. She was trying to explain what she knew about what was going on. That was not a lot. She started to cry and he stopped her. Ethan was holding on to her wrist as he put his hand on a rock and there was something on the rock. It was a locket on a chain. He looked at it as the chain layer rapped in his hand. Suddenly the scene was different, there was smoke and a bunch of destruction, including fire. They saw the past and it was very realistic. When they let go of each other the scene stopped. The weird thing was that they could still feel the smoke in their eyes.
Ethan showed the locket to his grandmother and she got scared. She made him put it into a bag and wrap up the bag. Then he was told to go bury it where he found it. But Ethan didn't listen and he kept it in a shoebox. The next day Ethan was sent to his Aunt's house. He had three aunts and they were old and creepy. The locket had his initials on it and Lena's birthday. So Ethan took the locket to his three aunts and tried to find out what the other initials were for and what it was or what it even meant.
The setting was defiantly described well in this case because the author described everything so well and with so much detail. When I was reading, I could picture everything that was happening. It was actually cool because I was creating an image in my head and then I felt like I was there. I also felt like I could see and hear the things that Lena and Ethan did. The scenery in the whole book is just like this.

This seems like and interesting book based on your descriptions. Does this book have to do with survival just like the Divergent series? I agree with you the setting was described very well in the book. I hate it when books just gives a dull setting and expects us to know the setting by ourselves. I hope Lena recovers fast and I'm proud that Ethan is being the greatest friends in the world to her. Great Blog Post.
