A Death Of No Importance by Mariah Fredericks

Read a nonfiction book or historical fiction book.

If this book were set 100 years in the future or the past from when it takes place, what might be different about the plot, characters, etc.

If this book was set in the past the only difference would probably be the clothing. If it was set in the future, almost everything in the plot would be different. Firstly, there would not be as much discrimination against Irish and Italian immigrants. Secondly, the person who is murdered in the story (you'll have to read this book to find out who it is), wouldn't have been rich (wealth is a big part of this book), because the way they make their money (coal) wouldn't be as profitable, and thirdly, the astounding amounts of extreme poverty, would be way less (which is not to say that there is no poverty today). Together these changes would probably change the book completely and make it less interesting to read.
