They were the one poor, struggling family in the midst of a prosperous community. It didn’t take people long to start talking about how different they were. How does the excerpt develop the setting of the story? It demonstrates the community is not as it appears based on the treatment of the Duvitches. It shows that the community grows comfortable with diversity as they get to know the Duvitches. It reveals that people in the community are cruel. It proves that the community dislikes all outsiders.
