Dirk the Protector (Exposition)

"For a time in my life I became a street kid. It would be nice to put it another way but what with the drinking at home and the difficulties to caused with my parents I couldn't live in the house. I made a place for myself in the basement by the furnace and hunted and fished in the woods around the small town. But I had other needs as well-clothes,food,school supplies- and they requires money." This is a good example of exposition because it introduces the setting, the character, and the characters situation. The exposition explains the fact that the character lives alone in the basement (setting) and the characters independence (the character) and that he fulfills all his needs on his own. And excellent example of exposition.
