2. The Setting of the story
refers to the geographic location (places or scene) and
time within a narrative
The setting makes the story vivid and interesting.
Usually, the setting is not said directly, instead, clues are
given for the readers to infer. In some stories, however,
the setting can change. Time may not be described
directly and can move back and forth. The place where
the scene is happening can be change abruptly.

your own opinion. Whether you choose the

will be considered CORRECT provided
that you defend it with valid reason from
the context of the story.

or the peasant? And why?
Choice: Educated Man
The educated man is smarter than the
peasant because he was just twenty-two
but he had finished his studies.

or the peasant? And why?

The peasant is smarter than the educated one
because even if the peasant had not finished any
course, he was able to throw a very clever question
that the educated man failed to answer.
