Setting
Out Stealing Horses takes place in rural Norway. Trond's house specifically is on a high point that overviews the lake. Trond's house is called The Top, because it is at the high point. Trond's house is a simple cabin. Trond lives right down the road from Jon's little brother Lars. The setting in the flashbacks is also the countryside of Norway. Trond and Jon's families both live on the river. The boys also spend time out in the woods and in the fields as well. The setting is in important in this novel because it brings rise to certain situations which further the novel. One example is the tree-trimming competition between the boys father's. Another example is the trouble mentioned about snow on Trond's home road.

Scott! I agree with your comment on how you think the setting brings out important parts in his life. That makes sense cause of all his reconciling about his events including the river and his father. I think its important how he coincidently lives close to his old friends brother, Lars. maybe they both will talk about it. It makes a possible good outcome.
