Fiction Elements Notes:Elements notes will be added as we cover them in class. I will also post worksheets/handouts if we have them.
Mood: Mood falls under the toolbox item, setting. Mood determines the overall feeling or tone of the story (or film). It gives the reader a connection or feelings. Word choice, description, and pacing all play into mood. Think about how the writing gets more urgent and faster as the climax approaches. Suspense/Mystery/Horror pieces are drenched in mood. The author's often use: foreshadowing, repeating words/images, and description to give the reader a sense of unease.
Commas: We have taken copious notes about commas. Below you will find a GREAT handout all about commas, their rules, and uses. If you are rusty with commas, you should definitely check this out. Maybe, you will even print it out and paste it into your journal!

Sentence Fragments: A fragment is a phrase pretending to be a sentence. A fragment lacks either a subject or a verb.
Ex. Might have red hair. -This phrase lacks a subject (WHO/what might have red hair).
Ex. A tree with wings!- This is a fragment because it lacks a verb (what is is doing)?

Irony
Situational: Something unexpected or "twisty"- an almost comedic turn of events-usually the opposite of what is expected (The husband being a wolf in "Wife's Story." The necklace being fake in "The Necklace." The paper going BACK out the window "Content's of a Dead Man's Pocket." The woman dying because she finds out her husband ISN'T dead and she is unhappy in "The Story of an Hour").
Dramatic: The reader knows more than the characters (The reader knowing that the wife dead from sadness instead of joy in "Story of an Hour").
Verbal: Saying one thing but meaning another (the town in "Ransom" being called Summit when in reality it is exceptionally flat...)

Setting: The time, place, and mood of the story
Characterization: How a character is formed through thoughts, language, actions, and reactions
Internal Conflict: A conflict that arises from inside a character- a personal struggle
External Conflict: A conflict that arises from outside stimuli that impacts
Symbolism-something used to represent and abstract concept or idea
Foreshadow: To hint at future outcomes
Plot Arc: Beginning/setting the scene, Action 1, Action 2, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution/Finale- this is the structure of the story- it is the plot.
To evaluate purpose you look at WHAT it is and WHY it is important
The thesis is the statement of author's purpose. What they are going to achieve.
