Setting: The settting described in A Farewell To Arms has not been fully described yet. It speaks of large plains and mountains so it most likely is somewhere in the midwest of the United States. I would also say that the time period of this is most likely in the early 1900s not only because we have to have an old book, but because it talks about horse back riding and a lot of agriculture business.

Plot- The war also plays a huge role in this story, WW1. It affects the lives of the characters and and everything that takes place in the story.

Characters-The main character is the narrator, it is a first person story. Another character is Miss Barkley, the narrator seems to have some affection for her. Currently they are in a hospital and there a many nurses and doctors.

Theme- A huge theme in the story seems to be, affects of the war. The war changes many peoples ideas and actions in the story so far in the very beginning, so it will most likely play a huge role throughout the entire story.
