The setting for
Shattering Glass by Gail Giles is
B'Vale High School. The book was published in 2002 which makes me want to believe the time period is present day and not in the future or back in the day. A real-life connection I can make to this novel is that I am in high school and know what that life is like. I see what happens to kids that get picked on for no reason other than they aren't popular.
A good line of imagey in the book is, "It was retro-cool in our part of Texas to wear loafers or Top-Sider boat shoes without socks, but Simon wore crepe-soled black lace-up wingtips" (Giles 1). This line describes what the average student in their part of Texas looks like.
Hey Delo. I really respect the textual evidence you used. I think its neat to compare how we dress to how other people dress on opposite sides of the United States. Keep up the good blogging! If you are interested you could join me and calvins book club at my house every monday 6-8 p.m. Let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Joey! I'll have to see how that book club works out with my schedule.
