<span>It is false that the setting of a short story includes time, place, cultural aspects, and characterization. Although the first part of the sentence is indeed correct, the last word is not - characterization has nothing to do with the setting. The setting is a character's surroundings - so the time the story is taking place in, the place, and all of the cultural aspects that the time and the place entail. The way characters are described doesn't have much to do with the setting.</span>
1) No its never good to give someone the cold shoulder
2) Add something interesting like a video or make a story (fictional would be good)
3) ..i think this is more of a personal question so you would have to choose this one
4) You could ask the person how there day is and ask them what they like to do to see if you have something in common
