Explanation:

"Enrique's Journey" shows the journey of a young boy who wants to find his mother in the USA.

The excerpt above clearly depicts a "setting." It doesn't show any dialogues, bitter feelings or sequence of events. It focuses on what is happening to the surroundings as Enrique wakes up. The stars receding is one way to describe a setting during early morning. As the morning progresses, men are seen starting their daily lives by working. It shows a sense of accomplishment on Enrique's end that he has yet lived another day after going through several challenges on his journey.
