Setting

The setting is an area that a story takes place in. It can be fictional or nonfictional; whatever the writer chooses.
 * SETTING**

- The location or space where action takes place in the story.
 * Physical Setting**

In //Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2// and many of the other Harry potter films/novels most of the action take place here. The final battle occurs here.

[]

In any //Batman// story (film, comic, tv show) most of the action occurs in the fictional Gotham City. This is where Bruce's parents were murdered and where he fights crime dressed as a bat. []

- Temporal setting is the place where the event or plot is taking place at a given time in the book. There are two categories: In the movie //Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope//, there was plenty of temporal settings. The scene at the Mos Eisley spaceport was probably the most memorable in the saga.

However, in //Castaway,// the movie takes place over the course of several years.From making his first fire to eating fish raw from his spear, we saw how Tom Hank's character, Chuck Noland, changed from his struggle.

- Time period is actually when the story took place.
 * Time Period**

In the science fiction based video game //Halo//, the story takes place in the year 2552. Obviously being far ahead of our current time, the developers can portray Earth in whatever means they like.

In other stories such as //Star Wars// (we know, another //Star Wars// reference), the audience isn't given an exact time period. This allows for imagination to take the viewer where ever they please.




 * Social Setting**


 * - T**he social atmosphere where the interaction of characters takes place in a story.

In //Lord of the Flies//, a group of young boys are forced to live on a deserted island because of an unexpected plane crash. They must make their own rules and create their own society while residing here.
