Use the story below to answer the question that follows.
For the past five months I have been waking up to gray, miserable-looking weather. The little sunlight we get is covered by a layer of thick clouds. Winter is my least favorite season.
Winter seems unending in the small Iowa town where I live with my parents, brother, and two dogs. Dad is a farmer, so we live around 30 minutes outside of town. Our fields stretch for miles in all directions from our house, making everything even more isolated. Yet, even if we were in town, there is little to do in the winter. It is often too cold to go outside much, and even the snow loses its excitement after a while. I also dislike the winter months because the cold, brisk wind barrels across the now empty fields and leaves you shivering even in a heavy jacket.
Today, however, is the first day of spring. I awoke to the sun shining and a bird singing a sweet song outside my window. When I looked outside, I saw several tulip blooms poking out of the patches of snow. On my walk to catch the school bus, even the air had lost a bit of its bite. Maybe winter really would not last forever. I began to dream of playing baseball in the park, having picnics, and fishing by the river.
How does the setting change from the beginning to the end in this story?
