The first place that the story takes place in is London. Alyssa travels there with her father so he can regain his memories on the memory train. After Her father regains his memories they head to the gate of the looking glass world, which is also london. In the story it's raining in

    Barry Levinson’s Wag The Dog, investigates the role of integrity and morality in individuals’ and institutions’ quest for power. Brean’s motto ‘change the story, change the lead’ summarises the Government’s approach towards handling the sexual scandal and peoples’ attitudes towards conserving truthfulness and ethical behaviour when trying to obtain influence. It explores one 's willingness to lie, exploit others, neglect aspects of morality and ‘dispose of’ innocent citizens. Brean refers to a war tragedy and the Government’s response to quell public outrage by distracting them with a new war, ‘it’s not a new concept’: it is a strategy repeatedly utilised to gain or maintain authority, as is demonstrated in the film. Thus, Levinson shows that maintaining ethics and honesty is the first obstacle in the quest for power.…
