The setting is one of the most important elements in a story. A setting is where and when the story takes place. The setting affects the story’s atmosphere, mood and everything the characters say and do. Characters respond to and interact with the setting of the story. The setting can also dictate what kind of conflict the characters may have in the story and how it will be resolved. A good example to show how setting influence the story is the story “Salmon. It takes place near a river in the early evening one summer day. I think this story is set in Alaska because it mentions in the story that during summer, it has “twenty-four hours of light” and in the winter “the sun never came out at all.” Also, in the beginning of the story, Kat
All parts of a story from its events to its result are based around a setting. Showing that a setting is the foundation of all stories and events. This is just like how the setting of the book Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney affects the plot of the story. Cooney’s book is about a teenager, Mitty Blake, who lives in New York City. Mitty is doing a biology paper, in which his topic is smallpox, an incurable disease. While researching, Mitty finds smallpox scabs and foolishly plays around with them, which puts him in a problem of whether or not he has smallpox. In the novel, Code Orange the setting affects the plot because it shapes Mitty’s lifestyle, shows how major the impact would be if Mitty had smallpox, and the amount of independence that
Setting is very important because without the setting there is no initial story. As a reader a person cannot read a story without it having some sort of time frame or having a reference to where the story took place. The setting also shows that the characters in this story have to undergo different problems than other people in the world for example, “…complaining about the drought
Setting is where a story take place. It's important because it makes conflicts possible, and moves the plot forward. Setting influences conflict, and conflict impacts the character causing plot progression. For example in Tangerine, because Tangerine has lightning strikes, muck fires, and sinkholes this has caused a lot of conflict that changed characters, and developed the plot, which impacts the novel. Setting in a piece of literature impact the overall experience a reader has with literature, and if the story took place elsewhere then the whole story would be different since characters would respond differently. For example, to me the setting in Tangerine impacted my experience since knowing the place I could predict would could possibly
The last method I am going to talk to you about is setting makes a big part of the a book because it impacts the character's emotion.For example when francesca has to go to her nona's for a while because of her mum being sick.it changes francescas mood and how they respond to charcters.Like francesca was missing her brother alot because they have’nt seen each other in so long because they where split up for along time a quote from when francesca was at her nonas.“I've been at nonna's for 2 weeks”.This quote shows that she has been at her nona's for a long
Setting and tone are both very significant within a play. With setting you're able to know the time and place of the events that are taking place, and what influences the character`s actions and behaviour. With the information regarding the setting you can determine how the play specifically reflects on the society that it takes place in, and what influence it has over the characters. The reader should be able to visualize the play with the reference of the setting. In addition, tone helps set the mood which is an crucial effort to determine the language of the character. The tone justifies the attitude of the narrator or the character's viewpoint.
Setting is a place, time, or climate that a literature work takes place in. The setting was all about same advantages for everyone as stated by the narrator. The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way.
There are three elements of setting including place, time and social background. Place is where the story took place including the county or something simple like a city place such as a national park. Time is the time the story is taking place it could be a specific season, or a specific time period. Social background refers to how the character was raised including any ethical beliefs that make the character the character. “The Chrysanthemums”, “The Lottery” and “Sonny’s Blues” all have these three sets of elements.
Do the settings make the stories believable or credible? How does setting impact the plot of the story, and how would the plot be affected if the story took place in another setting?
In the story, "The Last Rung on the Ladder", Stephen King does a great job of showing how the setting impacts the characters, and how the setting affects the climax.
Settings sets the moods and give tone to a story, and it shows the time and places the story takes. This can help the reader to foreshadow a book or a story. Authors use different ways to indicate the settings. The author of the novelette Old Woman Island, George Lalor uses different kinds of method to show the settings in the book. He includes a map of the small town, Flynn’s Landing in the page before the story. He gives an idea to the reader what the town looks like before. One method to show the settings is using objects that you can only find in the location, or is not used anymore. He uses objects like a vintage Chevy & vintage Mustangs which can rarely be found in the present time “a Chevy four-door bearing manitoba license plates…”

One way the setting has an impact includes the characters. The safe beach is an example of how the setting can impact the character. According to the story, “The boy . . . turned his eyes, which had a frown behind them, toward the bay and back again to his mother” (1). Jerry’s mother wants him to stay at the beach. She feels like the setting of the bay is dangerous, but Jerry feels the pull to explore the more dangerous bay. Secondly, the setting of the water gives Jerry a hard time. Jerry is trying to hold his breath under water so that it will not be hard to breathe while he is swimming (3). He is trying to learn how to control his breathing so he can swim better. He tried to put stones on his arms so he could stay under the water to help him. Also, another example is the tunnel. According to the author, Jerry “…tried to push himself in. He had got his head in, found his shoulders jammed, moved
The setting creates the enviornment for the entire story, the time and the place. Every single part of the story revolves around this. What the characters look like, how they talk to eachother, where they live, what is going on around them. The main conflict is even determined by the time period and where in the world it takes place. For example, the story "The Cask of Amontillado" is set in Paris, France around the rennaissance era. but theres more to the setting than just that. "It was about dusk one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that i encountered with my friend." This describes more about the enviornment around the characters in the beggining of the story. Then the setting shifts,"Its walls had been lined with
Three specific examples of how setting influenced the actions and attitudes of the characters are: The isolation from a civilized world, the mysteries of an unfamiliar place, and different social types being forced to live with one another. How these examples are to be proven will be developed in the following paragraphs.
