18. Setting
The setting is very important to the events in some stories, while it may be unimportant in other stories.
In general, the more a setting is described and the more the characters interact with the setting, the more important the setting is to the plot.

19. Point of View
Point of view is the perspective from which an author presents the actions and characters in a story.
