  3. MOOD MOOD is the overall feelings or emotions that are created IN THE READER. The “power of the pen” can move mountains. Authors “move” their readers’ moods through their choice of words and level of detail.

  4. MOOD EXAMPLE During the holidays, my mother's house glittered with decorations and hummed with preparations. We ate cookies and drank cider while we helped her wrap bright packages and trim the tree. We felt warm and excited, listening to Christmas carols and even singing along sometimes. We would tease each other about our terrible voices and then sing even louder. Mood: Content, happy. How do we know? Words like "warm, excited, glittered” are used by the author.

  5. MOOD EXAMPLE After New Year's the time came to put all the decorations away and settle in for the long, cold winter. The house seemed to sigh as we boxed up its finery. The tree was dry and brittle, and now waited forlornly by the side of the road to be picked up. Mood: Dreary, depressed. How do we know? "cold, sigh, brittle, forlornly"

  6. Tone Tone = a term borrowed from acustics and music. It refers to the qualities of the language a speakers uses in social situations or in a poem, and it refers to a speaker’s intended effect. It is an effect of the speaker’s expressions as if showing a real person’s feelings, manner, and attitude or relationship to a listener and to the particular subject or situation. For example, word choice or phrasing may seem to convey respect, anger, lightheartedness, or sarcasm.

  7. Example If you had paid attention to the instruction, you would have completed the assignment long time ago. Tone: accusing, it is not constructive in its intention

  8. State the tone used in the following • I cannot believe that all the tickets for the World Cup are sold out. 2. ‘And now my heart with pleasure, fills and dances with the daffodils. 3. If you persist in neglecting your homework. I’ll refer you to the principal.

  9. Theme The theme of a literary work is its central message, concern, or purpose. A theme can usually be expressed as a generalization, or general statement, about people or life. The theme may be stated directly by the writer although it is more often presented indirectly. When the theme is stated indirectly, the reader must figure out the theme by looking carefully at what the work reveals about the people or about life.

  10. Identify the theme • In his sophomore year of high school, Michael Jordan tried out for the varsity basketball team at Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. But at five feet and eleven inches tall, the coach believed that Jordan was too short to play at that level, so Jordan was cut from the team. Jordan didn’t let this obstacle defeat him. In fact, it pushed him to work even harder. He trained vigorously and grew another four inches the following summer. When he finally made the varsity squad, Jordan averaged 25 points a game and went on to become one of the greatest basketball players in history. • What is the theme of the story? • What happens in the story that leads you to believe this?

  12. W.H. Auden 1907-1973 English poet, playwright, critic, and librettist. Auden exerted a major influence on the poetry of the twentieth century. Auden grew up in Birmingham, England and was known for his extraordinary intellect and wit. His first book, Poems, was published in 1930 with the help of T.S. Eliot. Just before World War II broke out, Auden emigrated to the United States where he met the poet Chester Kallman who became his lifelong lover. • Auden won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for The Age of Anxiety. Much of his poetry is concerned with moral issues and evidences a strong political, social, and psychological context. While the teachings of Marx and Freud weighed heavily in his early work, they later gave way to religious and spiritual influences. Some critics have called Auden an “anti-romantic”—a poet of analytical clarity who sought for order, for universal patterns of human existence. Auden’s poetry is considered versatile and inventive.
