Setting The time, place, and environment where a story occurs.

Time- Where the story takes place Place- When the story takes place Environment- Everything that surrounds the character. The place described in detail.

Setting Setting helps readers share what the characters see, smell, hear, and touch, as well as makes the characters’ values, actions, and conflicts more understandable.

Purpose of Setting… A setting can serve several different purposes. It may create a mood, act as an antagonist, establish historical background, or supply symbolic meaning.

Setting is valuable Setting does impact a story in a much bigger way than one might think. The author’s ability to establish setting, usually early in the book and continuing throughout the story, helps the reader create a “movie” in his/her mind
