Mood, Tone, and Sandra Cisneros

Diction the choice and use of words in writing or speech *When you are talking to your friends, your diction may be informal, because you use common language and slang to communicate effectively. When you are interviewing for a job it is more likely that you will be formal and use a different type of diction. *Example: My interview process here at Ashley

Mood the overall feeling or emotion conveyed to the reader in a work of literature. *When trying to figure out the mood, it is important that you pay close attention to elements such as: SETTING, VOICE, DICTION, TONE and THEME.

Hyperbole a deliberate exaggeration used for effect. It was so cold, I saw polar bears wearing jackets “she is so dumb, she thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone company” I am so hungry I could eat a horse. I have a million things to do. Come up with an example of a common hyperbole that you use.

Nostalgia A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past. “When I was a kid, candy bars only cost a nickel, and they were way bigger than they are now.” *Please come up with a nostalgic phrase that you have heard either your parents or grandparent use.

Despondent downcast or disheartened; lacking hope or courage; dejected. *Please describe an instance in which you or somebody you knew was despondent…
