Setting 

The story takes place on an island where a plane has crashed. It makes the story more interesting/intense because of the young age group thats stranded on an island. The fact that there on a stranded island keeps the constant pressure of survival going in the book at all times, because it's such a dangerous unresourceful place.

Notes

The story starts out very stress and worry free, but as they start meeting more characters and figuring out what had happend throughout the first quarter it gets more intense with competition and survival. The author of the story writes very realistic to how younger kids talk to eachother.

Theme

Almost relating to how competitive creating a civilization is.
