Setting of The Choice

The Choice's main setting is in Beaufort, North Caroline. This happens to be the same setting as one of his other books A Walk to Remember. Sparks says it is a great place for a setting of a book because there is so much history in the town. Although I have only read a couple of chapters in The Choice there is still a very important specific setting in this book. In the beginning is at the main character Travis's house which is in a small neighborhood.


He has a new neighbor living next to him, Gabby, who he has been nothing but nice to. But she is extremely mad at him because she is 99% sure that her dog is pregnant because of his dog. She believe it was his dog because he lets him run around the neighborhood during the day with no supervision. One night Gabby got up the courage to go and talk to her neighbor about her concern. She walked over to his house and as she was walking over she saw a ball fly right by her face and next thing she knew she was flat on the ground, which is when she realized a dog had ran into her. His dog. The dog that got her dog pregnant. This made her even more angry as Travis helped her up. Once she was up she told him they needed to talk and she went on and on and on not letting him say one word. He didn't mine though because he couldn't stop staring at her realizing how beautiful she was. This was the moment he first started to like her while she was sitting there at his house blabbering on.
