The Importance of Setting in a story

In The Real Durwan,the story takes place on the stairwell, in the 1900s. This woman is probably going throug hardships so this book must be about how she overcomes it.

In the Adventure of the Speckled Band, the story takes place in Watsons house, in the 19th century. As Sherlock Holmes is a detective, this story probably is about Sherlock
Holmes solving a crime.

In Pride and Prejudice, the setting is in the Bennet household, in the 1800s. This is about rich aristocrats arranging marriage for their children and the consequences of such methods.

  1. Where a story is set refers to a country/city/town/village. The time refers to the historical period in which it is set and both of these put together give us an inclination of what the story is about, how the setting influences it and how it may turn out.

  2. Hi Timothy, nice blog you have here. I like the colour scheme and its not too confusing to navigate around. On this post, perhaps you can benefit by using this format:
    1st Story
    Place:
    Time:
    Story:

    This will give readers a clearer understanding of what you are trying to say. Even without the format above however, I can still understand your points so its not really that much of a problem. Perhaps you could elaborate more on the mood of the story but besides that, great blog!

  3. I feel that maybe you have not edited your blog after today's lesson where Mrs. Anu fully explained the setting to us. Well, let me just say it here. You are missing out on where the city/country the story is set in and from there you can link it to your inference of how the story would turn out to be. Thanks!
