 Setting

What is context?

Context refers to the background or details surrounding an event that occurs in literature. Details about the setting, a character's past, or even the time period of the story can help to set the context. Understanding the context can help a reader to better understand and interpret the events of the plot.

For this task we will be focussing on "the setting" (the physical context)

They were lost in a dark and mysterious forest.

It was a sunny day and there was only a light breeze on the lake.

The sun had been up for hours and it was gorgeous sunny day in the city.

After leaving the club they took a wrong turn and ended up in a dark alley.

The princess loved seeing the castle from afar, between the mountains and greenery.
