Look for Me by Moonlight

9. OPINION: I believe this book was written with compassion and commitment. It gives you a

Mood is referred to as the atmosphere of a literary piece, as it creates an emotional setting that surrounds the reader's. Craig Silvey uses several types of language in his novel, Jasper Jones to achieve an effect in the readers mind. The mood is moulded and changed to shape the audience response to the ideas and perspective he is trying to reveal. The construction of mood can be from several different techniques: description, author’s attitude, character’s thoughts and/or feels, syntax, etc. A mood that is often repeated in Japer Jones is suspense and intrigue. The narrative is based around the idea that Charlie and Jasper at any moment could be caught by the authorities because they know where Laura Wishart’s body is. This mood brings the

     The author wrote this story as a literary genius. There is an extreme level of suspense that leaves you wanting

In the first half of the book the mood is sad and scared and the reasons for these moods are because it's sad to kill a animal and the animals have no Idea that it's coming and scared because rainsford gets to this island and the guy already knows who he is because a book he wrote about jaguars. He talks to his

Personally, the book taught me a lot about how people deal with situations when under pressure, people’s need for power and how easy it really if for a war to break out and I found that in my mind I could easily link what was going

Throughout the story, the mood becomes more suspenseful. As Janet walks out of the strong spring storm and enters her cold damp house, she is overcome by feelings of isolation and loneliness. Her husband is not there; there are dead plants

The tone of a story, poem or novel is the way the author wants the reader to feel. Most people get the word mood and tone confused with each other, but the mood is the way the reader feels about the story, poem, or novel. In the novel the author’s tone is both suspenseful and sympathetic. For instance, it is suspenseful because Estrella wants to know what the chest filled with steel is for. Also, it is sympathetic because Estrella was being bullied by teachers and she did not realize it was happening until something hurt her feelings.

Step 3: The part I loved the best was everything. I enjoyed the entire book combined with the characters, scenes, and actions; it just kept me posted and absolutely engrossed.

“... A hoarse cry came from his lips as he realized he had reached too far and lost his balance … he struggled up to the surface and cried out, but the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face.”What did you feel there. Were you scared as he fell off the boat into the water? You may have felt this way because of the mood. In the story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, the mood changes a lot. It goes from a pitch black night falling off a yacht, to a sunny afternoon walk on the beach, then after that a whole other mess of things. All these things make you feel different because of mood. Mood sets the tone through characters, the places they go, and the things they experience.

To begin, the elements of tone and mood work together to reveal and support the message of survival and struggle. In the novel, Chiger uses descriptive details and her thoughts and attitudes toward the situation that she was placed into set the tone. She describes and explains the agony, hatred, and hopelessness she and others felt in the sewers, revealing her bitterness for the sewers and the Nazis. Chiger also uses mood to present her messages by creating different moods around different characters, making some optimistic and hopeful while making others pessimistic and morose. “This was a reflection of their personalities: my father was gregarious and personable; Weiss was gruff and miserable” (Chiger 107). This is relatable because some people may have disparate attitudes toward a negative situation, and each person may have a different demeanor or mood in response to it. Chiger conveys her themes of struggle and survival through tone and mood, and makes it somewhat relatable.

13. Have you read the author’s other books? Can you discern a similarity (in theme, writing style, structure, etc.) between them, or are they completely different?

Mood: The mood throughout the story was sometimes constant. There were moments when the mood was sad and there were other moments that the patients had a good time.

     There isn’t really a tone in the book. The author writes as if she was more informational. I think the book is actually a little bit suspenseful because when I read it I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next.

What did I learn from this book? The only thing that comes to mind when I'm asked that question is pain. I didn't know what real pain was until I tried to understand what this child went through. Everything that meant anything to him, his family, those who should be the closest, was drowned out. He didn't know what to think and so often in the world today, we are naive. We don't have a clue of how life could be, and of how lucky we truly are to have the kinds of backgrounds that we were blessed with.
