Question

How do setting, time, and sequence impact the audience’s understanding of the plot?

Answer 1

By telling them which characters have internal conflict. By telling them definitions of difficult words in the text ..by identifying where, when and in what order events occur and lastly by identifying which characters are involved in which events

Answer 2

First of all, i want to write a story. I cannot just slap it down, but rather take care to present to surroundings [setting] and the time of day. Then the order of events that take place. Without those factors the plot will be hard to define and visualize.

I hope this helps. XD
