Setting
Everything important for the setting takes place on Culver Creek Campus. Culver Creek Boarding School is located in Alabama. The theme began off away from campus then the theme starts on campus. Pudge meets some nice friendly students while he was on campus . The image of the campus is a clean and sanitized atmosphere where Miles finds himself to succeed in finding a possibility of the "great perhaps". Culver Creek has No Parents allowed policy which gives the students the power to focus strictly on themselves and to be independent. The dorm settings are hot and have no central air and , they also come with a shower and minimal room to maneuver.
Conflict
the colonel and the warriors are having constant conflict between each other and they are constantly getting revenge on each other. The colonel dislikes the warriors because they act like they are to good for them. I believe that most of the conflict is internal because it happens between the colonel and the warriors. I think that both the colonel and the warriors should all just get along because they all live under the same circumstances.
