 Literature Elements
Allusions
• an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it
explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.
• For example, say you have a friend who is so smart you playfully refer to them by
saying, “Rose is a real Einstein.” This allusion would be a reference to Albert
Einstein, the lauded physicist.
• "I'd better get home before I turn into a pumpkin!" Lila remarked. Here, Lila
alludes to the fairy tale "Cinderella," in which Cinderella must leave the ball
before the coach that brought her transforms into a pumpkin.
Tone
• The mood implied by an author's word choice and the way that the text can make
a reader feel. The tone an author uses in a piece of writing can evoke any number
of emotions and perspectives.
• In writing, tone reveals the narrator's attitude as conveyed by their specific word
choice. For instance, you could show your characters attending a party and have
the tone be excited, depressed, sarcastic, frightened, or hopeful. These
communicate the way the narrator feels about the situation.
• The attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience conveyed through word
choice and the style of the writing.
• Example (see word lists)
Literature Elements
Mood
• The overall feeling, or atmosphere, of a text often created by the
author's use of imagery and word choice.
The mood often matches the tone.
But wait — not always! It is possible to have a text or video in which
the tone of a character is harsh and mean, but the mood is light and
funny!
***Tone and mood are often confused, but they are not the same
thing. Tone is the author's voice and attitude towards the subject, the
audience, and the characters. Mood is the feeling or atmosphere that
the author creates for the reader, using words, images, and sounds.
