Setting
By definition, setting is the location and time period of the story
It also determines how characters behave and influences the mood of the story
Setting is created by language

4. The setting… Is found in the exposition Establishes time and place
Directly impacts character development and plot
Plays an important role in the conflict

5. Mood Mood is the feeling the reader gets from the piece
Tone is the author’s intention
The mood is established through detailed descriptions of the settings, people, and atmosphere of a story.
The point of mood is to prepare your reader

6. For Example
If you are writing a scary story about a haunted house, the mood will be dark and threatening. The setting should be dark – muted colors and shadowy corners – and the characters should be feeling a mixture of excitement and delicious fear.
If, however, you are writing about My Greatest Adventure, the mood should be charged with energy and bright in feel. Sunny skies, green grass, excitement in the air; you get the picture.
