Angry Management takes place in present day northwestern United States. The characters live in Spokane, Washington but often times they travel around northwestern United States.
"We're shooting through the Palhouse, past rolling wheat fields, about a hundred miles south of Spokane, near the Idaho border where Washington State University and the University of Idaho play Dueling Universities just nine miles apart"(Crutcher, 37). This quote proves that the book takes place in northwestern United States because it shows the reader that the main characters are driving at the border of Washington and Idaho and Washington and Idaho are located in northwestern United States. The quote also demonstrates excellent imagery by describing the scenery and the relative location of the colleges. It was a smart idea for Chris Crutcher to descibe the location of the colleges because then the reader will understand more easily where exactly does the book take place.
"I'll even let you plug your iPod into the radio"(Crutcher, 36). This quote proves that the book takes place in present day because there are iPods in the book which proves that the book takes place in present day because iPods are recent inventions.

ReplyDeleteI like how your post was thorough in analyzing the setting of the book and how you used the iPod to show that it took place in present day. I think you should have chosen an opinion-based discussion question, though.
