Authors use the specific techniques of imagery, dialogue, and characterization to establish the cultural setting of a story.
- Imagery helps paint a vivid picture of the environment, traditions, and lifestyle, allowing readers to visualize the cultural context.
- Dialogue reveals the way characters speak, including their accents, colloquialisms, and cultural references, which can provide deep insights into the cultural background of the setting.
- Characterization involves developing characters in a way that reflects their cultural backgrounds, beliefs, values, and social dynamics, further enriching the cultural narrative of the story.
