An antecedent is a word that the pronoun refers to.

Besides being a time and place, what else defines a setting? Give an example

Setting involves

The rules and structures set in place that govern characters

Example: The setting of the classroom include routines that help make the classroom operate smoothly.

In Fantasy Fiction, a couple of ways that setting often has impact are:

1. Character relationships: How characters interact with each other

2. Character decisions: The choices characters make

To figure out how a fantasy setting impacts fantasy characters, we can do 3 steps:

WHAT’S THE ACTUAL SETTING

FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SETTING

How will this make characters/(character) interact with others

How will this affect the choices characters/(character) make(s)
