Point of View: The story is told in third person limited and includes the stream of consciousness as we can see Kari’s thoughts. Setting & Tone: The United States which later gets divided into the ‘Middle States’ and the ‘Coastal States.’ The exact time is never given but it is set within the next 100 years.
