Your teacher does not want to know what I think (or any other Jiskha tutor). Sometimes the setting is a character in a story because it has a life of its own, like the human or animal characters. And the setting certainly influences the characters in the story because the interact with each other according to the restrictions/customs/mores of that setting. Think.
