SHATTERD PAUL LANGAN 2007 FICTION ESSSENCE WILLIAMS /E.W 6 th period

CALIFRONIA The setting of my story is my main character Darcy wills in her house in her restroom at 5:00pm. Thinking about what happened to her over the summer and how she would tell her ex boyfriend hakeem randell who had just moved back to califronia. I think the setting of my story is important because it shows how much the main character is affected by what happened to her and I think if the setting was different then the reader have reallly had any insight about the past conflicts in darcys life.
