Pack-A-Punch Mini Project
By: Blake Ommen
Mood
-The general atmosphere created by the author’s words; the feeling the reader gets from reading those words
Why use it
-To make the reader have feeling from the authors words
Example
-The only other sounds the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
-I loved my friend.
He went away from me.
There's nothing more to say.
The poem ends,
Soft as it began -
I loved my friend:
-She kissed me on the cheek,
I'm so mad it's hard to speak,
That's kiss I must erase,
Goodbye!
I'm off to wash my face.
-People wait
All week
For Friday,
All year
For Summer,
All Life
For happiness.
-I feel as empty as the night sky
without the stars and the moon
Tone
-The attitude of an author toward a piece (author specific feelings)
Why use it
-An author could feel sarcastic, sad, encouraging, etc.
Examples
-The only other sound the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
-Sun firing,
trunks crashing,
arms flying,
earth rising
from the surface of the moon,
-Part of me is a blackberry black-
tired and depressed
gloomy and alone,
feeling like none cares.
-Some times I feel like a blue-little energetic and happy
good sense of humor and laugh a lot
and I feel like playing all day.
-For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
