The setting affects the story's mood because it helps you know how the characters should be acting, and normally are acting. It also made certain situations happen. For example when they were outside walking and they were under the mistletoe, it forced them to have a more serious mood and kiss. Another time was during the wedding, there was dancing, pictures, and food which gave the story more of a happy and light-hearted feel at that time. The story had the setting help you know the mood when Libby was sick and in her room at night because it had a cozy feel then because she was relaxing at home alone.
