MOOD : MOOD Mood, or atmosphere, is the feeling created within the reader. Writers use many devices to create mood: characters, dialogue, setting, and plot. Plot : Plot Plot is the sequence of events. The plot begins with an exposition that introduces the setting and the characters. The conflict then increases until it reaches a high point of interest, the climax. The climax is followed by the falling action, or end, of the central conflict. Any events that occur during the falling action make up the resolution. PLOTLINE : PLOTLINE Exposition Resolution Rising Action Climax Falling Action Conflict Introduced Conflict : Conflict Conflict is the struggle between opposing forces in a story or play. Two types of conflict exist in literature. External Conflict : External Conflict External conflict exists when a character struggles against some outside force, such as another character, nature, society, or fate. Man vs. Man: a fight, an argument Man vs. Nature: man lost in the forest Man vs. Society: an inventor or a prisoner Internal Conflict : Internal Conflict Internal conflict exists within the mind of a character who is torn between different courses of action. Man vs. Himself: man unable to make a decision Setting : Setting The setting of a literary work is the time and the place of the action. The setting includes all the details of a place and time – the year, the time of day, even the weather. The place may be a specific country, state, region, community, neighborhood, building, institution, or home. The setting is the general environment: a school, a restaurant, a playground. Tone : Tone Tone is a reflection of a writer’s or speaker’s attitude toward a subject. Tone may be communicated through words and details that express particular emotions. For example, word choice may show respect, anger, lightheartedness, or sarcasm. Point of View : Point of View First Person Second Person Third Person First Person Point of View : First Person Point of View First-person point of view is when a character narrates the story using first person pronouns (I, me, my) in his or her speech. The advantage of this point of view is that the reader gets to hear the thoughts of the narrator and see the world through his or her eyes. Second Person Point of View : Second Person Point of View Second-person point of view, in which the author uses you and your, is rare; authors do not usually speak directly to the reader. If you find this point of view, pay attention. Why? The author probably has a specific purpose in mind. Third Person Point of View : Third Person Point of View Third-person point of view is an outsider telling the reader about the action. The writer may choose third-person omniscient, in which the thoughts of every character are open to the reader, or third-person limited, in which the reader enters only one character's mind. Theme : 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 rest of the elements combine to create the theme. The theme is the statement the author is making about life. You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
