MOOD
MOOD is the overall feelings or emotions
that are created IN THE READER.
Authors “move” their readers’ moods
through their choice of words and level of
detail.
TONE
TONE is simply the author’s attitude toward the
subject.
You can recognize the tone/attitude by the
language/word choices the author uses.
Tone must be inferred through the use of
descriptive words.
Imagery
An image is language that describes something
that can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or
smelled.
Theme
This is what the poem is all about.
The theme of the poem is the central idea that
the poet wants to convey.
It can be a story, or a thought, or a description of
something or someone - anything which is what
the poem is all about.
Sight
The
sun’s beams
shimmered and
danced on the
ocean’s gentle
waves.
Smell
The
fragrant
roses drifted
through the
room like
elusive ghosts.
Sound
Although they could
not see outside the
cabin, they could
hear the eerie
tapping, tapping,
tapping, of his knife
upon their door.
Taste
The
cheesecake’s
exquisite flavor
traveled from
his tongue to his
spine.
Touch
The
icy breeze
gently brushed
against the hair
on her neck, and
goose-bumps
shortly followed.
