Yuki Castellano's Setting Summary
There are three crucial settings in this book that contribute to and affect the overall plot: A California courthouse, the home of a deceased cop, and the homemade jail cell of an ex-convict.
The first setting in 14th Deadly Sin is a California courthouse that is based in San Francisco. There is nothing particularly special about this courthouse; it is just a regular courthouse that just so happens to be located near a busy street in San Francisco. The event that occurs within this courthouse, however, is a very critical moment that helps to keep the plot moving forward. Yuki Castellano, a self-proclaimed professional attorney, is suing the San Francisco Police Department for wrongfully forcing a mentally handicapped teengager to admit to

    The literary device of setting is often overlooked in its impact towards the plot and character development of a story. However, as can be extrapolated from the assigned readings thus far this semester, setting plays a vital role in determining the direction, feel and structure that a particular story invariably takes. The setting is a reflection of many significant pieces of a work: time, location, culture and tone, thereby immediately creating an ambiance and establishing connotative emotions within the reader. Characters are a direct and ultimate byproduct of the communities and surroundings in which they live. They can be put at ease by pleasant accommodations or, as in the cases of the two works at the base of this paper, place a character in a position of trepidation. Moreover, setting generally transcends its own simplicity by affecting the structure of a piece, permeating into the plot's innermost dealings. Throughout the semester, two short stories immerge as paragons of a setting's importance, these being Young Goodman Brown by Nathanial Hawthorne and, more contemporarily, Girl by Jamaica Kincaid. Both exemplify the importance of setting as it reflects and applies to the core meaning of each piece.…

    As an undercover cop, Tom knew all about the harsh reality of the justice system, but that did not mean he ever got used to the enormity of the role he played in changing the course of a young person’s life. He had spent the afternoon in court giving evidence against a teenage arsonist, and by the end of the day, he had felt both emotionally and physically exhausted. When he left the courthouse, he had originally planned to go straight home. Friday night was date night, and he was looking forward to spending some quality time with Dennis. But as he drove his Mustang through the congested city streets, he felt a sudden urge to take a long walk along the beach in the hope it would clear his head and help him unwind.…
