The setting in literature is not historical context of the writer's life, descriptive language to create a mood, or the overall plot of the story, as those are all quite literally what they are. Historical context is called the historical context and so on. However, we don't call the time and place of a story the time and place. I hope this helps! :)
The story "The Seventh Man" from Haruki Murakami begins with a meeting where there are seven people, and each of them is to speek. The main character of the story is the last person to talk: the Seventh Man.
The man tells how, when he was ten years old, a typhoon and a tsunami struck his hometown. After the typhoon ended, he and his best friend, who he simply calls "K", went out to assess the damages it caused. However, when they were outside, a gigantic tsunami started to form. The man realized this, and wanted to warn K, but instinctively ran away in fear. The tsunami caught both of the boys, but only the narrator survived.
The man carried the guilt of having abandoned his friend with him throughout all his life. He developed a terrible fear of water and for the next forty years he had no happiness.
After the man's parents died, he came back to his hometown where, after finding some old drawing K had done, he went to the shore and understood that he had been foolish to not face his fears.
At the end of the story, the setting returned to the meeting where the Seventh Man was proclaiming that the worst thing a man can do is live in fear and let that steal something precious away for him.

The article "Clemente´s Impact Wanes in Puerto Rico 40 Years after his Death" was first written and published by Jorge L. Ortiz on December 27th, 2012 as a memorial after several years since the death of baseball major league player, Roberto Clemente, also a major star of Puerto Rico. Clemente died in 1972 during a plane crash when he was trying to take humanitarian relief supplies to Nicaragua, after an earthquake that devastated the country. The plane that took off from the island overloaded with these supplies, ended up crashing into the Atlantic and Clemente´s body was never found. The death of this super star impacted a lot of Puerto Rican´s because of how important and famous he became, the first Puerto Rican, in fact, to have reached the Hall of Fame. Ortiz, in this article, remembers these events and how the affected the people of his land, comparing it to the impact the death of JFK had on the United States. The event which takes place 3 months before the terrible accident, and some time before the New Year´s Eve Party that Ortiz was attending when Clemente died, was that Clemente pursued and accomplished his 3.000th hit, during his 1972 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
