  32. notes Daily Schedule

  33. Voice lesson #1 • Setting, mood and atmosphere: • Page 50 -51 • Elements: • VERISIMILITUDE: The sense that what one reads is "real," or at least realistic and believable. For instance, the reader possesses a sense of verisimilitude when reading a story in which a character cuts his finger, and the finger bleeds. If the character's cut finger had produced sparks of fire rather than blood, the story would not possess verisimilitude. • Note that even fantasy novels and science fiction stories that discuss impossible events can have verisimilitude if the reader is able to read them with suspended disbelief. • Time frame • Emotional effect • MOOD (from Anglo-Saxon, mod "heart" or "spirit"): In literature, a feeling, emotional state, or disposition of mind--especially the predominating atmosphere or tone of a literary work. • Most pieces of literature have a prevailing mood, but shifts in this prevailing mood may function as a counterpoint, provide comic relief, or echo the changing events in the plot. The term mood is often used synonymously with atmosphere. • Students who wish to discuss mood in their essays should be able to point to specific diction, description, setting, and characterization to illustrate what sets the mood.

  34. ATMOSPHERE (Also called mood): The emotional feelings inspired by a work. The term is borrowed from meteorology to describe the dominant mood of a selection as it is created by • diction, dialogue, setting, and description. • Often the opening scene in a play or novel establishes an atmosphere appropriate to the theme of the entire work. • The opening of Shakespeare's Hamlet creates a brooding atmosphere of unease. • Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher establishes an atmosphere of gloom and emotional decay. • The opening of Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 establishes a surreal atmosphere of confusion, and so on.

  35. wow • “you can’t have ‘plot’ and ‘setting’ really, until you have a character who wants something with all his heart. The character, on his way to getting what he wants (quest), be it love, survival, or destruction, will write your story for you.” • - Ray Bradbury
