Entry 2

The Westing Game (Ariel)
The setting of The Westing Game is at Sunset Towers, the apartments next to the home of old, dead Sam Westing. This is where the 16 heirs and family stayed most of the time. On the ground floor is Mr. Hoo's restaurant, the Theodoakis's coffee shop, and Jake Wexler's Orthapedic office. The floors above are where all heirs except Otis Amber and Sandy McSouthers live. The placement of Sunset Towers to the Westing Mansion is quite eerie. Those that wish to look out the window will see the beautiful view of Lake Michigan as well as the mansion, reminding them of the game they are all a part of. Also, if observed well enough, one will notice things that would help them win.

The Hunger Games (Raymond)
The rules have changed. Two tributes from the same district can win. Katniss and Peeta must work together to stay alive in the deadly arena ranging from a forest to grain fields to a lake in the middle of a dead minefield. The gamemakers draw the final three to the infamous cornucopia for one last bloodbath. At the last second, the rule change is revoked, leaving Katniss and Peeta arguing over who's going to live while all 12 districts and the capitol watch in anticipation with a clear view of the two star-crossed lovers.

Night Hoops (Isaiah)
The story takes place in a city called "Bothell". Two boys named Luke and Nick try to make the varsity team for the Cougars. It is kind of a positive setting because I think both of the boys have the capability of making the team. One thing that is negative though is they both worry too much about making the team. With reading about how they played before the tryouts, I think they both will make it, and play together.

East (Madi)
The setting in East is out on a farm in Isbjorn. Rose and her family are having problems trying to keep the farm, but when things go down the family is forced to leave the evacute the house. Rose and her family work day and night to keep the farm, her father who isn't that great of a farmer struggles to keep the family fed. With the family is going through starvation, Rose's father takes the last of teh money and buys Rose the wool that is needed for her cloak. Once the family is evacuted they move into their neighbor's house.



Peaches (Dahnyelle)
The setting in Peaches is on a peach farm. Due to Murphy Mcgowens rebelious behavior she is sent to her uncles peach farm for two weeks of hard labor to make her learn a good life lesson.Whe she gets to the farm she shows little enthusiasmn to get started. Birdie her cousin is an awkward girl. She does what she is told and takes orders from anybody; in other words she has no back bone. Murphy on the other hand is a different story. She will stand up for what she belives, and talk back to anyone she wants but hopefully her time at the farm will do her some good.


The Christopher Killer (Destiny)
The setting for my book is in Silverton, Colorado. A small town that not alot of people know about. Cameryn was born and raised in Silverton and knows just how a small town like hers works. She's just a simple girl who wants nothing more than to be a forensic scientist like her father, even if she has a queasy stomache. But with a crazy catholic grandma, a friend who believes in the great beyond and nothing but suicide cases it's suprising that she doesn't just give up. But when one of her friends ends up being killed by the infamus Christopher Killer, everything goes downhill. People asking her for any dirt about the case so they can get some TV time, her faith and science being tested by a physic that says he can talk to Cameryn's friend, and when dirt about her mom comes back up from the grave things get messy.
