Canadian student life blog topic: What is YOUR favourite setting?

A setting can be one of the elements of a story. Eg. one of the characteristics of a narrative (another name for story).

Setting refers to the time and place (location) in which a story occurs.
A setting of a story, poem, or play can be anchored to a specific time and place, such as on the Yukon Gold Rush in the 1800s, or it can be fictitious, such as a faraway kingdom or in outer space. Real or not, characters interact within the setting to show and tell a story.
