One may also ask, how does the setting of the story affect the action in brownies? Setting can influence the plot, as it does in ZZ Packer's “Brownies," where two troops of Brownies—one group black, the other white—share the same bathroom at a camp. And it all grows from the two troops inhabiting the same bathroom, under the radar of the adult leaders. Setting can also create mood.
