Have you ever wondered about school shootings, or heard of them on the news? What is the theme of This is Where it Ends? How do the elements of POV, perspective, and setting help develop this theme? I think the theme is be thankful for your life this is supported by the POV (4 first person), the perspective for Sylv, and setting of it’s remote location. After reading this is where it ends, it is concluded that POV, perspective, and setting all play a big role in the story. In the text sylv is the most impacted perspective because she loses her brother but doesn’t lose Autumn so she’s thankful for that.

words. The setting is supported because it takes place in modern times with the location being in the countryside. The setting plays a huge part in the story because it is a big part of Tyler's big plan. “Oppurtunity high is a county high school, with students from all the small surrounding towns.” (16). This means that the place they live in is pretty spread out, or further from civilization because it is a school from surrounding places. “Ten twenty-three. Arrived at sccene.” (141). This means that when far, and tomas called them early on, it took them like twenty minutes to get to their shool because of location. Setting is a big part of This is Where it Ends, but so is the POV. The point of view plays a huge part in the story because it gives information about Tyler, and all the other characters.
“Dios te salve, Maria, llena eres de gracia:el Señor es contigo, Bendita tú eres entre todas las mujeres y bendito.” (36). The first quote shows that Sylv is from a southern america country of some sorts, and speaks spanish along with her brother. “Al-Sahar, fareed as a cover. The school administration can’t even file his name right” (4). The second quote shows that Fareed is muslim and people get his name wrong all too often because of it. The Point of view plays a huge but so does the perspective. The perspective is a big part in the story because it shows the feelings all the characters have, along with some feelings of the author. “The auditorium is still, everyone too scared to speak.” (87). I chose the first quote because it shows that everyone is scared, no matter the relation with Tyler. “We’re all aware of the thirty-nine dead. Of the twenty-five in the hospital” (279). I chose the second quote because it shows that a lot of people were lost, and it was scary but there were survivors and there is relief. All elements perspective, setting, and point of view play a big part in the
story After and during, the reading of, this is where it ends, it is concluded that POV, perspective, and setting all play a big role in the story. I realized that without all these factors This is Where it Ends wouldn’t be the same. If you were someone in the crowd what would be your thoughts, and how would you feel for everyone else?
