In literature, the word ‘setting’ is used to identify and establish the time, place and mood of the events of the story. It basically helps in establishing where and when and under what circumstances the story is taking place.

PLACE AND TIMEWhile simple to state, they have the most impact in a story. The time period and geographic location put the characters in a specific type of story.
MOOD
A good author sets the mood with emotional details.
The ‘mood’ refers to how an author shapes a specific emotional perspective. It refers to the particular atmosphere to the work. The final tone evokes specific, appropriate responses from the reader.
SENSORY DETAILS
Authors use all five of the senses to describe the setting in a story… maybe even six!
