English A exam practice: Analyse setting as mood and meaning

A short story scene after a storm uses place details to shape mood. Choose the place-and-mood focus that explains meaning. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains meaning, reader position, audience response, or comparison.

Worked practice: build the analysis

Construct the analysis one move at a time, the way an examiner reads it: focus, evidence, technique, then effect.
