As well as the physical setting, the atmosphere also contributes to the overall effect of a story. This is the “feeling” the setting gives the characters and the reader as we read. For example, the atmosphere in a church is usually quiet and peaceful which leads the person in a church to feel the same way. On the other hand, the atmosphere at Fantasyland is loud, busy, and full of excitement which causes anyone who is there to feel that.
