Mood and Its Developement

In the stories “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” by Walter Dean Myers, the author uses figurative language to help the reader understand the tone of the story.The figurative language used in this sentence is personification to show how the setting. In this event A boy named Grey Ridley was walking down a street and saw the leafs blowing, “Gusts of wind made bits of paper dance between the papers cars”. In other words this shows us that this street may be dirty, this may not be a good environment, and how bits of paper dancing around is a result of wind so it must be a cold fall weather. In addition later in the story Walter uses personification again to descriptive the mood. Grey and Lemon Brown are in a abandoned house and both of them hear a car pass by, “A car passed, its tires hissing over the wet street and it’s red tails lights glowing in the darkness.” The intention of the author was to help create the intense, creepy, and spooky mood for the reader. In

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.

“... 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.

Repetition is another key poetic device used in the poem, and considering its effect on the reader gives insight as to what the speaker may be emphasizing as significant. The word “dread” is repeated several times throughout the poem, specifically in lines 12 and 15. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as “feared greatly…dreadful, terrible.” Because this word is used so many times, it draws the reader’s attention and contributes even more to the imagery of the Tyger. The repetition of the first stanza forms a sort of introduction and conclusion. The few differences between them get the reader’s attention and point out significant ideas that go along with the meaning of the poem. The comma in line 21 shows hesitation, and the colon in line 22 commands the attention of the Tyger as the speaker

Throughout the beginning of the passage, the author uses an array of different rhetorical devices to give us a glimpse about Douglas Spaulding's feelings towards the beginning of summer.Ray Bradbury utilizes personification in sentences 1 through 5. For example "The town covered over with darkness...the wind had the proper touch, the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow." The author drives a clear picture of a mysterious atmosphere by the use of the word "Darkness". By adding "The wind had the proper touch."

The mood is what makes the audience/reader feel while reading the story and it is an element that is guaranteed to be used in every story. “The Sniper” and “The Cask of Amontillado” both provide great examples of mood. The first example of mood can be found in the story “The Sniper”. The description of how the whole setting was gloomy, dark, and mysterious. When the author of “The Sniper” describes the night and the buildings make the reader feel the intensity of the night, “Dublin lay in

This deeply contrast what is felt in chapter one because words are now used to convey an unsafe, loud, and unpleasant mood, and an image of the characters being in harm’s way is portrayed. In chapter one, words such as “far off”, “little”, and “immediately” exude an image and scene of safety, that the characters are aware of the dangers of their environment, yet are unaffected. The angry sounds of the men are described as being distant, and the loud and distracting rustling of the leaves die down quickly, thus this use of imagery through word choice displays the mood of safety. Opposing this, in chapter six, words such as “sounded”, “much closer”, and “crashing” create this mood of unsafeness, peril, and disharmony. In this chapter, the distant shouts of men becomes not so distant, and the quiet and brief rustling of leaves is rather drawn out and

Petry personifies the wind throughout the excerpt as harsh, bitter, and does what it pleases. The wind does not care for others, and is a major obstacle for most. In line 9, the wind is described by the narrator as a “violent assault.” Petry includes this description of the wind to describe how fierce and aggressive the wind actually is. Another use of personification is in lines 31-34 when, “the wind grabbed their hats…” This example shows how the wind

In the poem ‘Glasgow 5th March 1971 the poet Edwin Morgan contributes to the atmosphere of the poem by using several language techniques such as imagery ,metaphors and onomatopoeia. Which all follow the technique of instamatic poetry. The poem is a very dramatic visual poem that tells the story of one of the many crimes that took place in Glasgow,during the 1970’s, in this case the pem centres around the two youths,that push a couple into a jewellery shop window,to then carry out theft. An atmosphere of fear and violence is created by the way Edwin describes the way the victims appear as they fall through the window.

13. Mood- the feelings a reader have during the story- when reading Beloved a feeling of sadness fell over me

While writing a novel, it is necessary for the author to develop a tone and mood for the story. This may be done in ways such as word choice, literary devices, or point of view. For example, to set a dark and mysterious mood, the author may choose words that have an obscure sound to them, and may use literary devices such as foreshadowing or flashbacks. In this excerpt, there is a comedic tone. In order to portray this, the author uses imagery, extended metaphor, and clown-like characters, while also mocking stereotypes.

This gives the reader and the story a very depressing atmosphere. These can create anxiety and fear in the reader which leads to the story’s theme of fear and madness as

The disturbing and exciting mood is first introduced in the exposition. When General Zaroff tells Rainsford about how hunting is starting to bore him to death. Hunting got so boring that the general decided to seek out new animals to be hunted but he wanted to hunt a animal that reason. Rainsford then asks what new animals were to be preyed upon and the General tells him that humans are to be hunted. Rainsford’s opinion was that hunting humans was morally wrong and quick to say, “Hunting? Good God, General Zaroff, What you speak of is murder.” The disturbing part is when General Zaroff tells Rainsford that he hunts humans for entertainment and that he does not care about killing a living soul. The exciting mood is shown when General Zaroff

A theme of loss throughout the poem is the physical loss and the loss of life of the young boy. The poem starts with fricative sounds which creates a sinister undertone. The “Buzz saw snarled” as if the saw was a vicious predator hunting for its pray. The boy therefore is the prey. The innocent sound of the boy working with the saw is immediately recognized by the reader as an undertone for violence and danger. The third ling portrays a beautiful scene. “Sweet scented stuff” and “Five mountain ranges one behind the other” appeals to the sight and smell of the readers senses in a positive way. The sibilant letters evoke positivity of the day, making a contrast from the sinister opening. This calms us into a false sense of security, making the child’s death all the more unexpected. The young boy is coming to the end of the day when we first “see” what the boy is thinking in his head “Call it a day, I wish they might have said” shows the boys eagerness to stop his work. Suddenly as his sister calls him to “Supper”, the buzz saw jumped out of the boys hand and cut him. “At the word the saw…leaped out of the boy’s hand” shows that the “saw” is personified as a predator leaping at its prey for
