Finding the setting of a story?

Question

I'm answering some questions on this fiction article and its asking me why the setting is important. can you tell me what to include in this or give me some links to websites where it might tell me what to include in my answer?

Answer 1

Remember, setting is not just place, it is time, as well. Setting is very important in some stories because it can affect the motivation and actions of characters, as well as places a story and its characters in a particular era or time of history or the future. The setting of a story can make events possible for characters and plot or it can be what limits the happenings in a story. Setting is one of the "big three" when analyzing a piece of fiction: the other two of course being characters and plot. Because I enjoy travelling I often find the setting in fiction that I read to be one of the most interesting aspects of reading.

Avoid "going to links" to find the answers. Use your imagination and ideas that are generated when you read a particular piece of fiction.

Answer 2

When and where does the story take place in the fiction article you're reading? Do any of the events happen as a result of where it is located or when it happened? Just something to think about.


Good luck.

Answer 3

the setting is usually important to a story because it establishes the surroundings, location, time of year or type of day. don't you think its important to know whether an outdoor football game is played in NY where it is cold and has snowed versus in Arizona where its 100 degrees, or if the game is indoor would it make a difference at all? ... think about it like that.
