Setting plays a very important role in books. It describes the environment around the the character or characters, and it affects them. Setting plays a very important role in the book //Coraline//. It describes how Coraline opens the door in the drawing room and enters the other world. Throughout the book, it describes how the setting affects Coraline’s mood, like when she sees the painting of the little boy in old clothing, she realizes that it’s not the same painting she has in her own home. During the book, the setting changes in the other world: at first it seems so perfect, but later on it changes into an eerie and unstable place. There are many quotes throughout the book that describe the setting around Coraline and other characters. For example: “Outside, the world had become a formless, swirling mist with no shapes or shadows behind it, while the house itself seemed to have twisted or stretched. It seemed to Coraline that it was crouching and staring down at her, as if it were not really a house but only the idea of a house-and the person who had the idea, she was certain, was not a good person.” This is a quote from the book towards the end describing what the world really looks like. To wrap it up, the book //Coraline// gives descriptions very well and gives you how the setting influences Coraline’s mood.
