Chapter 1: Setting
In the novel The One and Only Ivan there are a bunch of different settings. Some settings in the big top exit 8 mall, Ivan’s domain, and finally the circus. The circus is one that they don't talk about a lot, but it's still important. The other two are very important in this novel.

To add in he says “I usually paint in my domain, and then Mack sells them in his gift shop for 20$ and 25$ with a frame.”(page 17) This shows how Ivan is usually always in his domain and that's where he stays all the time and his home where he does everything. Also it is important because this setting is important in the story and that's where most of it
