Setting and mood

• Setting refers to  both the world in which the
  story takes place and the changing scenery that
  serves as the backdrop for each scene or
  chapter.  Setting includes what the characters
  see, hear, smell, and can touch in their
  environment.  The
  sights might include
• time of day
• seasons of the year
• plants and animals
• Natural features
• weather
• landscape
• buildings or other structures

Setting and mood

• The setting of a story affects how we and the
  characters feels about their surroundings.  This
  feeling is called mood.  The setting can make
  things seem pleasant or create an air of
  foreboding that hints that something bad is about
  to happen.

SETTING AND MOOD

• For example
• The description of Radleys house is a good
  example of creating mood. Lets read this
  section together ( page 10 50th edition).
• What did you feel?
• Notice that, expect for the town of Maycomb and
  the Radley place, so far Harper Lee has spent a
  lot more words on the description of the people
  and situations than the setting.

Reading chapter six

• Now we will read aloud chapter six. Turn to page
  67 (50th edition)
• This chapter might be entitled
• Jem Loses his Pants..and
  Recovers Them.
• Purpose for Reading Think about how the setting
  affects how we and the characters feel about
  their surroundings.

Skill practice using chapter six

Mood

• Remember , mood is the feeling the story creates
  in you. To understand it better, think about how
  movies use music to create a feeling of anxiety
  (fast, high-pitched violins), sadness (slow, low
  notes on a solo saxophone), or excitement (loud
  rock band or full orchestra).

13
Mood practice

• Re read the Pants section of the chapter on
  page 71. What words or phrases convey the
  feeling, or mood of fear in the passage?

FEAR
