Prompt One

Q: What was unique about the setting of the book and how did it enhance or take away from the story?

A: What was unique about the setting of the book was that it was based in Montreal. I have been there before so hearing certain street names or places really helped me visualize what was happening in the story. In some situations in the novel, it made me not want to visit Montreal because this book was based on a true story. Hearing about all the horrible stories of prostitution and how badly the women are treating made me feel disgusted. But on the other hand hearing of some of the places in Montreal made me want to explore the city. For the most part this book leads me to believe that Montreal is a very sexual city where many young girls are lead into a horrible life style. Knowing this and have being to Montreal really gave me a clear image while reading the book. It definitely enhanced the book.
