Setting- Maine, US September, early fall At a military school called the Arsenal Setting Quotes- I go to this private school called The Arsenal.

You could tell it was specialy made. pg185

Theme- 1) Chief looked at David and said, "sorry David, but this is one of the wosrt and hardest cases we've ever experienced here, I just have no clue who did this to your mother." This represents our theme because the chief plainly states that this is a mystery. 2) When David goes out to follow his dad into the darkness, it is a very suspensful time, because David has no idea whats waiting for him around the corner. 3) David finds out that his grandfather had embezled money from the school, and nobody knows where it is. It represents our theme because a mystery is something that is diffucult to understand or figure out.
