Setting:
The setting influences many events in the book Counting By 7s.
When Willow realizes that the Gardens of Glenwood apartment complex did not suit its name, she realized she should do something about it. The name of the apartment building makes her think there were going to be lush gardens, but really, there was a pit of red rock sitting in the middle of a concrete sidewalk. The setting influenced Willow's mindset towards the apartment complex, and therefore changed the plot. "For the briefest of moments I imagine clearing away the rock and digging a pond to grow water lilies and red bog flowers. I would plant timber bamboo along the north side to jut up into the open space and shade the roof. I suddenly see vines and lush plants clumped together, and the air is pungent with the smell of life." (Sloan 279)
Nature helps Willow develop her intelligence, curiosity, and adventurous personality while she is with her adoptive parents. The setting changes Willow in a positive way by exposing her to endless opportunities, and the setting also influences her future decisions.
