How does the setting affect the mood in your IRB?

     In my IRB, The Lost Boy, the setting is greatly affected by the mood. You can say this book has a sad mood. Since Dave Pelzer is been abused since the age of 5, with many bruises, the school begins to notice a change in his face and body. So he becomes a foster child. It's sad because before becoming a foster child, he lived in the garage, with nothing , but an army coat to sleep with. Also every night he would go to sleep in pain. Being a foster child really affected his mood. The mood then changed to happy and loved. He had his own room with more that 1 pair of clothes when he lived with his first foster parents, . The setting is greatly affect by the mood for Dave Pelzer.
