Setting

The book is set in Nazi Germany. There is a section in the book that describes the common part of the town. It is ravaged by the presence of Hitler's men. The militia marching past is a common sight. An entire street is marked with yellow stars and closed down. There are also people who seem to be part of the setting. There is one woman who stands by the door of her shop and glares as you go past. She also is a big Hitler supporter, and has placed a big photo of Hitler in her shop window. There is also a crazy man who is always whistling. I know that they aren't really part of the setting, but since they are so constant in their presence in the same place, they seem to become part of the setting. Maybe the setting is the people, since there are some people who don't change no matter how much everything around them changes.
