Midwinterblood By Marcus Sedgwick: Literary Analysis
In the novel, Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick, shows great criteria in all of its thrilling stories, but only one of them stand out the most and it is setting. In all of the short stories the setting takes place on Blessed Island. "This is the first thing that Eric Seven about Blessed Island."(Page 3). Here is another quote to support my reason a little bit better. "He marvels at it, because if he had been God (though he's very glad he's not) and he were designing an island, Blessed is just what he would have drawn"(Page 69). When reading this book you can easily see, as the reader, that the setting repeats itself over and over again. That is something not to judge a book by, this is a really good book with great setting because the setting

    In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, the setting is very important in the story. Brian thinks to himself, “There were wolves, he thought, and bears-other things.” The book takes place deep in the Canadian forest and this setting helps create the mood. Anyone trapped in a forest and have no idea where they were would freak out and be scared like Brian is. But if the setting took place anywhere else then Brian would not be scared and there would not be so much tension. For example, if the setting took place in a park Brain would not have to worry about being eaten by bears and wolves. In fact, he wouldn’t have to worry at all. He could just go into a telephone booth across the street and call his mom or dad to pick him up and drive him home.…

Within the chapters titled ‘Evidence’, scattered amongst the evidence accumulated for the fictional investigation into Kathy Wade’s disappearance, quotations from characters both authentic and fake exhibit the catalogue of concealed violence embedded in American history. Quotations reference the brutality in the battles of Lexington and Concord where the colonists were “as deplorable as the Indians for scalping and cutting the dead men’s auditory perceivers and nasal perceivers off” (262). Further references contained in the Evidence chapters regarding the Native Americans reiterate the words “exterminate” (260) and verbalize…
