Xander was very disappointed about moving away from the the big city and all of his friends. If you had the choice, would you rather live in a small, secluded, quiet town or a big, loud, jam-packed city?

House of Dark Shadows- Setting of Novel
I just started reading the book House of Dark Shadows and the author has already given me a good idea of the setting of the book. Xander King and his family just moved from the big city of L.A. to a small secluded town of Pinedale. They're house is an old Victorian fixer-upper that is surrounded by heavy woods. The time period the book is set in is 2008 when the book was published. I know this because of some of the things the kids are using such as a PSP. There were a few good lines of imagery in the prologue which was describing a house in the 1970's. One of these lines was "The walls of the house absorbed the woman's screams, until they felt to her as muffled and pointless as yelling underwater." This shows that the house was so big even if you were screaming, no one would hear you and it's almost like being trapped.

ReplyDeleteBig city because theres a bigger chance youll find friends that are similiar to you and that you have fun with since theres alot of people living there. Plus ive never lived in a small town, so i wouldnt know what it was like.
