Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is a literary element. The setting initiates the main backdrop and mood for a story. The setting can be referred to as story world or milieu to include a context (especially society) beyond the immediate surroundings of the story. Elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and hour.

Detailed explanation-2: -Backdrop settings are commonly used in stories that are very character driven. The setting is only needed so that scenes can take place and be understood by the audience but the real focus is on the events, the character’s thoughts, or character relationships.

Detailed explanation-3: -The elements of setting – time, place, mood, social and cultural context – help to make a novel feel real and alive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Use sensory detail. All five senses – sight, sound, touch, smell and taste – can be effective in creating a strong atmosphere. Hold an image or word in your head as you write. Inhabit your imaginary world in your daily life. Limit your imagery. Focus on the language. 21-May-2021
