    A setting provides the base of any and all conflicts unfolding within literary work; both positive and negative. How the setting is placed in both location and time determines how the characters resolve conflict and how those conflicts themselves are created. Conflicts for characters in novels unfold due to obstacles formed within the setting, both from the setting itselves direct impact or the characters actions and dialogue.

While my dad is often the first to use the voice response, I have noticed that my dad often chooses the loyalty response, too.…
