SettingThe time and location in which a story takes place is called the setting.  For some stories the setting is very important, while for others it is not.   

SettingThere are several aspects of a story's setting to consider when examining how setting contributes to a story (some, or all, may be present in a story)-

Setting

a)  Place - geographical location. Where is the action of the story taking place?

Settingb)  Time - When is the story taking place? (historical period, time of day, year, etc)

Setting

c)  Weather Conditions - Is it rainy, sunny, stormy, etc?

Settingd)  Mood or Atmosphere - What feeling is created at the beginning of the story?  Is it bright and cheerful or dark and frightening?
