Where does the story take place?

• A. Texas
• B. Oklahoma
• C. Oregon
• D. Kansas

Answer: (B)

Setting is what this question is about. The story takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a working-class city that shapes the world the characters inhabit—the neighborhoods, the drive-ins, the parks, and the tensions between the Greasers and the Socs all arise from life in that Oklahoma community. Because the social dynamics and the details of the environment are tied to Oklahoma, this is the right choice. The other states don’t fit the story’s location as described in the text.
