•What is setting? How can it affect a story? Give an example. 4-5 sentences.
SETTING
•Setting is determining time, place, and tone in fiction. This activity helps you to see that the setting at the beginning of the scene establishes the atmosphere for the scene.
DIRECTIONS:
• Read the following passage from the beginning of the first section. Write down five examples of descriptive language that develop and establish atmosphere of the first section. On your paper, explain how the descriptions you wrote down build atmosphere.
A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees- willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding; and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches that arch over the pool. On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them. Rabbits come out of the brush to sit on the sand in the evening, and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of 'coons, and with the spread pads of dogs from the ranches, and with the split-wedge tracks of deer that come to drink in the dark.
