Omaha

Eleanor moves into a new town, Omaha. The setting in a way kind of enhances the plot of the story (only by a little though). This dead end town is what makes this relationship between Eleanor and park even more exciting. 
      At home, Eleanor isn't very happy and not at school either. In her household her mother's boyfriend, and the way her mom favorites him, is the reason why she hates it there. And in school she's the freaky new girl that has no friends. The fact that the bus ride to and from school is the only place that she's at least somewhat content is pretty sad. Also considering that park, the weird Asian kid that she sits with, doesn't even say a word to her. She just reads his comics over his shoulder and they silently bond over this. But every bus ride their mute connection grows stronger and stronger until a friendship forms. The route of a good relationship. 
        Eleanor hating her home and school is what makes these bus rides with park even more exciting for her. In conclusion of this, the settings in this book make the little things in the characters lives more interesting.
