Atmosphere

- The mood or emotion that is conveyed by the setting. (Michelle) [|Atmosphere]
 * __Atmosphere__** ** - The mood evoked by a literary work in its entirety. **

Atmosphere is normally determined by the combination of "mood" and "tone" If you're a mathematical person, you can say: A= M+T with "A" being "Atmosphere", "M" being "Mood" and "T" being "Tone" (LA)

(not to be confused with mood, which is the emotion felt by a reader from a piece of writing) KH


 * //"On a dark, stormy night, the villain slowly crept closer and closer to his unsuspecting victim.." -// this piece of writing, for example, evokes more of a dark, scary theme unto its reader.

Does this pictures atmosphere remind anyone else of The Adams Family? ... - TH
