1. School- The characters don't spend too much time here, but it is the sight of a few major events in the book. Some examples are when Cassie's mom gets fired, and when Cassie and Little Man get in trouble for noticing an offensive chart in their outdated course books. It is an old and dreary place, and the Logans have to walk for up to an hour to get there.
2. Home- This is where Cassie lives, and some major events happen here including when the cotton from their plantation is set on fire. Also, Cassie finds out her father was shot by some white men in the house.
3. Town- This is where Cassie's father gets shot. This is also where the Logans go to get things they need, though they tend to avoid it unless absolutely necessary.
