- I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and attended the University of Missouri at Columbia for my undergrad. I have a Masters in Elementary Education from Regis. I come from a family with four kids. My sister is a teacher in Chicago. One of my brothers lives here and the other one lives in Chicago. I moved here because my husband loved Colorado and I loved him. As it turns out,I love Colorado as well.
The setting of the story, “The Thief Lord” affects Prosper and Bo’s adventures because they are runaways and without roads it is easier to survive in such a big city. Also, in Venice there are lots of places to hide. So, Prosper, Bo, and their friends, Hornet, Mosca, Scipio, and Riccio have many places to hide and be safe. The first place they hid was in an abandoned movie theater named The Stella that belonged to Scipio’s father. They stayed there until the detective Victor Getz found it and was determined to return the boys to their aunt. Venice affects the story more than any other place would. It fits the scene perfectly because it is full of water and is perfect for the story.

The setting affects Prosper and Bo's adventure by giving them more places to hide from Victor Getz, the detective. It also helps the kids blend in with everyone else because Venice has huge crowds of people. The setting makes the city a good place to hide and in abandoned places. The setting also helps to be more interesting because it has so many hiding places.
ReplyDeleteThe setting on The Thief Lord affects the story because Bo and Prosper have more places to hide. Prosper and Bo also have more ways to get away from Victor. It also makes it harder to find the thief lord. Victor even thought they could be any were in Venice, in a church or in an old abandon house.

I think that the setting of Venice affects the adventures of Bo and Prosper because there are so many places to hide, and it is so easy to blend in with people and tourists. Also, it is easier for them to lie and change their appearance. They have to do this because Victor Gets, a detective, is determined to find them. Plus, without streets, it is easier for them to act. Next, they could easily find any old measly abandoned place and make it their home. In conclusion, Venice is the perfect place for Bo and Prosper because there are so many hiding places and abandoned buildings.

The setting of "The Thief Lord" effects Prosper and Bo's adventures because Venice has a lot of alleys and obviously no streets that could give them away. The canals are good for getting away from Victor Getz, a detective that is after them, because almost no one would swim across a canal to catch something. The alleys are good for hiding as well because some of them lead to secretive places that make it easier to get away and create shadows. A couple of examples from the book are... When the book says, "the Grand Canal... its banks were crowded with people... Soon [Riccio and Prosper] disappeared into the throng of people waiting for the next boat." and, " 'That's the good thing about this city. If someone is after you, all you have to do is cross the canal, and the other fool's had it! Even you should know by now that there are only two bridges across the Grand Canal.' " In conclusion, the setting of the story effects the adventures of Prosper and Bo by giving them hiding places and ways to get away from Victor.
