  8. Setting Root Beer and Banana By Sarah Sullivan It's summer on the river, when the air's as thick as soup and you can smell tar melting on the roof. Sun's too hot for climbing trees and we've already fished our limit. "Cmon, Squirt," Granddaddy says, giving me a wink. "Time to stop by Mister Mac's." Rolling over gravel to the hard road, we drive past Tolliver's Farm Supply and Glenda's Antiques to Mister Mac's General Store. I can hardly wait to get inside. Mister Mac's ceiling fan stirs the heat while the ice-cream freezer hums its steady tune. Cold air hits my face when I slide the door open. I stare at the colors on the paper wrappers, orange, cherry, and grape—but the best flavors are hidden underneath. Identify two settings from this passage. How is each setting described?
