    And there was the island, which was not more than fifty by fifteen yards in extent.” (Jenkins, par-1) The author describes the setting so thoroughly, yet beautifully, as if he was painting a mental picture for someone who had never ventured outside before. On the other hand, while the setting is equally as important in the story The Inheritor, it is not described as well or with as many substantial details for the reader to properly immerse oneself into the scenario. For example, the sentence, “They were on the only high land for miles around, a peaked hill known as Lone Pine because it had one tree on it.”…

    The setting in the novel is constantly kept on the island, and because the entire plot is based on the survival of the children on the island I would say that the setting is very important.

Darkness poured out, submerging the ways between the trees till they were dim and strange as the bottom of the sea.” (-P. 61)…
