The Setting of The Story.
The story is set in America in 1960s which is very interesting period in the history of American culture which influenced particularly all the world in the second half of the XX century. It was the time when America started to rethink its mental positions of throughout optimism. Rock music and its icon band the Beatles became extremely popular, the counterculture of hippie appeared. Moreover, women started to think about their role and their rights in the society and actually in this historical period the movement of feminism appeared.
In such historical background the story takes place. The main character Connie lives in the suburbs of a little American town. As she is only a teenager she lives with her parents in a house. Her friend and she visit movie theaters, shopping malls and drive-in restaurants. The time in which the main character lives and everything which surrounds her influence her mode of life and decisions she makes.
