  • How did you do on the Disney quiz?

Just as the setting in your favorite Disney movie is important, the setting in literature is crucial too.

Authors choose specific environments for their stories. Often, the setting is just as important as the characters themselves.

There are two main types of settings.

Backdrop Setting

The setting can be visually imaginative and appealing to the audience but not important to the story's action. The plot of the story could happen anywhere.

Integral Setting

The place and time influence the story's themes, characters, and plot. The setting controls the outcome of events for the characters.

Armed with that brief introduction to settings, continue to the Got It? section to practice distinguishing settings.
