Page 79 - "We were fifteen by then, already into our last year at Hailsham."
While reading over the literary terms, I stumbled upon one I wasn't very familiar with: local color. When I read the definition, Hailsham immediately jumped into my mind. Hailsham has been by far the most important setting in this story. Also, its landscape and customs have been touched upon too. My opinion is that Hailsham is important because it is the place where Kathy befriended Ruth and Tommy. Their relationships were structured at Hailsham. It will always have a special place in their hearts. I also wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up again later in the story as well.
