Instructions

Hello, Sixth Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring that you make three postings to this blog about your ORB. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations on the rubric (also on First Class).

The Devil and His Boy- Setting

English 8-6
Setting
February 18, 2010

The Devil and His Boy, by Anthony Horowitz, took place in London England. The story took place in the late 1500's, during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. This was made very clear during the book because it is very important in the main plot of the story. I wouldn't like to be living in the setting in the book. This is because London during that time was very crowded with houses and people, making it a perfect place for robbers and crooks. "There were people everywhere, shouting and shoving as they tried to reach the market stalls" (55.) Though I wouldn't like it there, the story has to take place here because most of the characters in the story were real people. So if the story were to be cast in a different place, everything would be different.
