Setting-Time period

My story takes place in Atlanta, Georgia in the early 1900s and the late 1800s. It also takes place in Washington DC in the same time period. Picture #1 is the convicts building roads in Atlanta Georgia in the early 1900s. Picture #2 is the Chandler Building in Atlanta Georgia in the late 1800s. Picture #3 displays the normal home in the late 1800s. Picture #4 is the Library of Congress during the late 1800s in Washington, DC. Picture #5 shows how many people got around Washington in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These pictures represent what Albert Einsteins time looked like in Washington, DC and Atlanta, Georgia.

Setting-Mood

My story is going to be suspenseful. I chose suspense because I think that type of a story reels in readers until they are hooked and can't put the book down. Some examples of how my story is suspenseful are the following: Reinhard and Einstein have a epic battle in a old Atlantic warehouse, Gehlen stalks Einstein around the city nearly running into him around every corner, and when Franklin reads the warning letter Einstein sends him and decides weather or not to take action.The epic battle between the two characters is very suspenseful because you do not know who is going to win in the end. The chase through downtown Atlanta is suspenseful because as each character turns the corner you don't know if they will run into each other. The opening of the famous letter from Albert to Franklin was suspenseful because FDR had a sudden chill down his spine as soon as he heard the German's could bomb the United States whenever they pleased. You did not know what action FDR would take toward this conflict.

Setting- Geography

I have two settings for my story. One of my settings is the home town of Albert Einstein; Atlanta Georgia. My other setting is Washington DC, which only appears toward the end and not much happens there. Atlanta Georgia was a very populated city in the late 1800's and the early 1900's. The fact that there was a lot of people in Atlanta provided the opportunity for Albert Einstein to loose his stalker who was trying to kill him. His stalker went by the name of Reinhard Gehlen. He was Hitler's top spy and was a very dangerous person to be involved with. After hearing that Einstein had warned the US about the atomic bomb threat, Hitler sent Gehlen to Atlanta, Georgia to kill him. A single man is hard to find in a crowd of over a million in a fairely small city. An advantage that Albert also had over his killer was that he knew how to navigate the crowded streets. Downtown Atlanta is filled with tiny alley's and confusing streets. Being from Germany Reinhard had no idea where to turn in the unfamiliar city. Therefore, allowing Albert to escape or at least gain an advantage over Gehlen. As you may know Germany is usually not all that warm during the year; Atlanta is. Reinhard Gehlen may get some type of sickness from the sun, therefore, preventing him form killing Albert Einstein. Atlanta is the perfect setting for my story because of all the reasons I just listed.
