This lesson focuses on analyzing key elements of literature: setting, mood, and conflict. We will explore how the time and place of a story, as well as the details of characters and environment, contribute to the overall mood. Mood is crucial in shaping the reader's emotional response. Additionally, we'll examine the various conflicts that drive narratives. Through reading and discussion of texts like "Ethan Frome" and "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant," students will engage with these concepts in depth and provide evidence to support their analyses.
