Short Story Notes (Continued) Setting, Mood, Suspense, and Indeterminate Ending

Setting (I know this is review, but write it down anyway. Thanks!) The time and place in which the events of a story, novel, or play occur The setting often helps create a(n) mood or atmosphere Setting is not just physical, however; it includes customs, ideas, values, and beliefs of a particular time

Mood The feeling, atmosphere, or emotional quality that an author creates in a literary work; established through setting and descriptive language

What’s the mood of this painting? The Sleeping Gypsy, Henri Rousseau, 1897 Why do you think this? ______________ ________________________________

What’s the mood of this painting? The Hungry Lion Throws Itself on the Antelope, Henri Rousseau, 1905 Why do you think this? _________________ ____________________________________

Suspense The growing interest and excitement readers experience while awaiting a climax or resolution in a work of literature. To build suspense, an author may use foreshadowing – or clues to what will happen next – as well as a number of other literary devices.

Suspense Think of a suspenseful story that you have seen, heard, or read (books, short stories, movies, etc). What was the story about? What made it suspenseful? Give details. How did the suspense make you (the audience) feel? Explain.

Foreshadowing The author’s use of clues that hint at events that will occur later in the plot; helps build suspense and prepare readers for what’s to come Hint: The jungle picture we saw earlier foreshadows the setting of the story we’re about to read…

Foreshadowing Reread the following passage from the “The Flowers”: By twelve o’clock, her arms laden with sprigs of her findings, she was a mile or more from home. She had often been as far before, but the strangeness of the land made it not as pleasant as her usual haunts. It seemed gloomy in the little cove in which she found herself. The air was damp, the silence close and deep. We’ve talked about how the mood changes in this passage before, but how is this passage also foreshadowing what happens next in the story? Explain.

Indeterminate Ending An ending in which no resolution is reached.
