Presentation of of hints and clues that tip the reader off as to what is to come later in the work.
It can be subtle, such as rain in the beginning of a story to suggest something bad is going to happen, or more obvious.

The use of a word or an object to stand for another word or object. These words or objects have deeper meaning than they appear to have. Example: The dove symbolizes peace What symbols do we see in this image? see in this image from “Love the Way you Lie”?

10. MOOD AND TONE

11. (put in your scrapbook!)
Mood vs. Tone
What is the difference between TONE and MOOD?
(put in your scrapbook!)
Tone: the attitude a writer takes towards a subject or character: serious, humorous, sarcastic, ironic, satirical, tongue-in-cheek, solemn, objective. Think of it as the AUTHOR ‘s attitude about the subject.
Mood: the atmosphere that creates the emotions that you feel while you are reading. Think of it as how the AUDIENCE feels. Some literature makes you feel sad, others joyful, still others, angry. The main purpose for some poems is to set a mood.

12. How does TONE lead to MOOD?
After determining the attitude of the author or speaker, you should then consider how the tone makes you feel. This is called the mood.

13. Tone/Mood Application

B) Create a T-chart on your paper with “Huntsman” on the right and “Mirror” on the left.
What is the subject?
What is the tone or filmmaker’s tone toward the subject?
