How Does The Setting Effect the Story's Mood

It effects it a lot. One of the Reasons is because the setting takes place in a very cold place and his father was laying on the ice my guess is because he almost froze to death. He's still alive but if he would have been laying there for a little while longer then he probably would have froze to death and the story would probably not make that much sense. So it effects it by it being really cold weather and it almost killed Einar Anderson the father of Sig Anderson. So that's how I think the setting effects the story's mood.
