The setting in paragraphs 26 and 27 helps to the development of the plot because it provides the story with an interesting twist and it arises a conflict.
The last dog is a short story by Katherine Paterson, in this story, humans live in a sealed dome and are not allowed to go outside as it is considered to be dangerous. In this context, one curious man decides to leave the dome and explore the outside world.
In paragraphs 26 and 27 of this story, the narrator describes how the main character Brocks finds some hills with trees and later a brook. This finding is extremely interesting because the character had been through trees and freshwater did not exist anymore, and therefore he is quite surprised to find these elements.
This discovery helps develop the plot of the story because it is an unexpected twist and it arises a conflict because the character starts questioning previous ideas such as:
- Considering the outside as dangerous.
- Believing life is not possible outside the dome.

Dear myandmother123,
a lot has happened since the last time that I saw you and it's quite a long story so I hope you have found somewhere comfy to sit. :)
So as you know I moved to a little town called Kearny and I started going to school, but I kind of forgot to write you since my life was so hectic that first year there... 8th grade was wonderful and boring and horrible! I blacked-out and hurt someone when they used the wrong name too many times, full-on screamed at a teacher until my foster sister pulled me away to our next class, fought with my arts teacher way too many times, I won a bunch of awards for my art and my grades, I learned that I could sing well enough to get into an honor choir, I rekindled my love of reading, almost made a friend, and testified in court for the first time(which was really scary).
Then I get to high school... I went to like all the dances! I dated a couple of very kind and caring guys, but in the end, broke their hearts with my brokenness. :( I got into two more honor choirs, as well as theater(but I didn't get to perform because clumsy me got stitches). I made some amazing friends, lost my foster sister that had helped me in 8th grade, and won my court case! but then I moved away... so now I'm nowhere near anything I've ever known, but I've had a bit of time to adapt to the weather here, and I plan to write you more often. :)
Well, that's all for now.
Bye!
