The setting effects the mood of the story a lot. If there was a different setting then the whole story would be different. The story is about the main character Rain and her "dead" old best friend Wendy. The mood of the story is kinda sad because its about how Rain and Wendy aren't friends anymore because of partys, and how this girl Wendy left a party and ended up dead in the park the next morning. The mood is sad because so many sad/bad things keep happening at parties. And the party is the setting so if there is a different setting then all those sad/bad things would have never had happen, so then the whole mood would be different.
