๐ Topic Summary
Understanding the setting is a super important part of enjoying any story! The setting tells us two main things: where the story happens and when it happens. Think about your favorite cartoon: where are the characters right now? Are they in a big castle, a busy city, or a quiet forest? And when is it happening? Is it daytime, nighttime, or maybe even during a special season like winter? Knowing the setting helps us imagine the story better and understand why the characters do what they do!
