Setting 

is the time and place (or when and where) of the story. Example of setting: 


Long ago in the past, there was a young girl named Cinderella. ( TIME)


Cinderella’s home is in a faraway kingdom. ( PLACE)

23


To understand more settings, the given example is the Disney movie “Cinderella.” The time aspect of the setting changes after her father dies, skipping roughly ten years into the future. Understanding these changes in time helps in keeping up with the story or narration. Let’s Try This. Read and understand the example below. Let’s find the setting in the story. 

24

As the sunset in the evening sky, Ryan slowly turned and walked his way home. All was silent and still. Through the window, he could see her older sister Bella watching a Korean movie on the television. Bella came home from the city where she is currently studying. Though it was lonely at times for Ryan being alone in their home, seeing Bella once a month makes him happy.

The Angel by Hans Christian Abdersen 

“Whenever a good child dies, an angel of God comes down from heaven, takes the dead child in his arms, and flies with him over all the places the child had loved during his life. Then he gathers a handful flowers, which he carries up to the Almighty that they bloom more brightly in heaven than they do on earth. And God presses the flowers to His heart, but He kisses the flower that pleases Him best, and it receives a voice, and is able to join the song of the chorus of bliss.”

38


The flower grew beautifully, rose-bush, but some wicked hand had broken the stem. The dead child said, “That was so pitiful! Let us take it to heaven in God’s garden so that it will grow there.” The angel took up the rose-bush; then he kissed the child, and the little one half opened eyes. The angel picked also some beautiful flowers, as well as a few humble buttercups and heart’s-ease. "Now we have more flowers," said the child; the angel only nodded and he did not fly upward to heaven.  

39

It was quite still in the middle of night in this great town. They remained still and the angel came over a small, narrow street. There are dirty plates, pieces of plaster, rags, old hats, and other things that is not good to see. In all this confusion, the angel pointed to the pieces of a broken flower-pot. The earth had been kept from falling flower-pot and to a lump of earth which had fallen out of it. The earth had been kept from falling to pieces by the roots of a withered field-flower, which had been thrown by the rubbish.  

40

The angel said, “We will take this with us, I will tell you why as we fly.” And as they flew the angel started to tell a story. "Down in that narrow alley, in a low cellar, lived a poor sick boy; he had been troubled from his childhood, and even in his best days he could just manage walk up and down the room on crutches once or twice, but no more. Some days in summer, the sunbeams would lie on the floor of the cellar for about half an hour. In this spot the poor sick boy would sit and warming himself in the sunshine. Then he would say he had been out, they knew nothing of the green forest in its spring verdure, till a neighbor’s son brought him a green bough from a beech-tree. This he would place over his head, and fancy that he was in the beech-wood while sun shone, and birds carolled gayly.

41

One day the neighbor’s boy brought him some field-flowers, and among them was one to which the root still adhered. This he carefully planted by a fortunate hand, for it grew, put forth fresh shoots, and blossomed every year. It became a splendid flower-garden to the sick boy, and his little treasure upon earth. He watered it, and cherished it, and took care of it. It should have the benefit of every sunbeam that found its way into the cellar, from the earliest morning ray to the evening sunset. The flower entwined itself even in his dreams, for him it bloomed, for him it spread its perfume. And it gladdened his eyes and to the flower he turned, when the Lord called him. He has been one year with God. The flower has stood in the window, withered and forgotten. Even this flower, withered and faded as it is, it gave more real joy than the most beautiful flower in the Queen’s garden,”  

42

"But why do you know this?" he asked. "I knew it, because I ‘am the sick little boy and I know my own flower very well," said the Angel. Then the child opened his eyes and looked into the glorious happy face of the angel, and at the same moment they found themselves in God's Heaven where all is happiness and joy. The Almighty pressed the child to His chest, and he received white wings, so they can flew together with the angels, hand in hand. After that, God pressed all the flowers to His heart, but He kissed the poor withered flower. All were supremely happy and they all graciously sang, the God blessed child and the withered field flower that had lain so long in the rubbish heap in the narrow, dark alley.
