           How does the setting affect the meaning of the story?

           In the story "the ghost grave" the setting effects the meaning of the story. The setting in my IRB effects the meaning of the story when Josh goes into the forest .In my IRB the setting isn't major, its a small city where everyone knows each other. My story can be located in many diffrent  places. It only rains a couple times but that happens in alot of place. It would make sense for my story to take place in highland because Highland is a small town.
