Setting

Think about where the bulk of your story will take place. This might be a city, a forest, a house, etc. Create a setting that shows.

In what time period is your story set?

Copy and paste the information below for each major setting in your short story. So if your short story takes place in three locations, you need to copy and paste this three times and answer each question for that specific setting. Please do not have more than three settings.

Setting Location:

Describe how the setting looks.

Describe the sounds of the settings.

What tastes are involved in the setting?

What smells are in the setting?

Describe what the setting feels like to the touch. This could could involve physical feeling or a sense or something felt in the air.

Fireside Book Chat:

So what book did you read and who wrote it?

I read the book The Confessions of a Heartless Girl. By Martha Brooks.

Tell us a briefly what the book is about (summary of the book.)

Well there was this girl named Noreen and she was living with her mom and her dad. Her dad abused

her so she went to go live with her aunt Gladys. She lived there till she was 17 and then she went off

with her boyfriend which she was with ever since since the 9th grade. She was 17 and living with her

boyfriend Wesley. She has just noticed that he was pregnant and couple of weeks ago. But, she has

been with another guy before Wesley. She was about 2 weeks into her pregnancy. And she left Wesle

y and went with Del. So it was 8 and a half months that passed and he has been having pains in her

stomach so Del took her to the hospital and she went into labor ad 7 and a half hours Del went in to

see how she was and she went in seeing a beautiful baby BOY (:

What was your favorite scene? Describe.

My favorite scene was when Noreen had her baby and how he was happy with herslef for doing

something good.

In your opinion, was the book an easy or hard read?

It was kinda hard because it was going back and forth threw the story from Del to Noreen to Wesley

and all of the characters.

If you could meet your favorite character in this book somewhere, who would you meet, where

would you meet them and why?

I would meet Noreen and I wold meet her at her work because she is always there.

Was there anything about this book that you didn’t like? If so, what was it?

Nope I liked everything.

Would you recommend others read this book? Why?

Yes, It tells young girls to finish school and not to get pregnant at 17 years old.
