Let's think about this for a minute and you can figure it out yourself. Think about some well-known stories:
Now, imagine each story in a totally different setting. You can see how each of them would change.
it would have a different setting
One way to determine the importance of the setting in a story is to analyze how it directly influences the plot or characters. If the setting plays a crucial role in shaping the events, atmosphere, or motivations of the characters, then it is likely a significant aspect of the story.
It would have had a setting
Normally the setting of a story happens in the beginning of a story A good author provides constant setting throughout the story to give you a vivid mental image of where the story is taking place.
I would not know because you did not put the title of the book or story you are looking for.
Where and when would be the setting of the story.
Sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't matter where the story takes place -- as in an epic quest or hero story. Sometimes, the story would be totally different in a different setting -- Western stories would be really weird if set in China, for example.
You make the setting integral to the story if you want it to be important. Star Wars would not have been the same story if it were set in Victorian England, and Gone With the Wind would have been totally different if it were set during World War II.
The primary setting would be where the story mostly takes place and the temp. setting would be where the story takes place some of the time.
By showing how a character reacts to or interacts with his or her surroundings
Some stories would be totally different if told in a different setting. One example might be the Star Wars stories - can you imagine how different those would be if they didn't take place in the far future, on different worlds? A story where setting is not as important is the Twilight series, which could really take place anywhere at all because the characters are more important for those than the setting is.
You consider it by asking questions like these:Where is the story taking place?When is the story taking place?Would the characters act differently if this story took place at a different place or time?
