Question

Which two sentences best define mood in literature?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mood is the feeling of the text. Mood describes the emotion of a specific scene, character, plot, or connection/relation between two characters.

Explanation:

For example, a scene. The mood of a scene can be dark, evil, scary, cheesy, etc. The moods can vary.

For a character, the mood can change in an instant, or over time. Some moods could be shyness, anger, joy, confusion, etc. A characters mood is usually influenced on what happened before hand or what is to come of them

For a plot, the mood could be drastic or happy. An evil plot will have a darker mood, while an easier, realistic-fiction plot will somehow end up well (in the sense that the very end of the literature the plot will be resolved in some way).

For a connection between two characters, mood is a very important thing. If a character just had a fight with their mom, the mood between that character and the character's mom will be tense, awkward, angry, etc.

Mood really effects literature. Without mood, some stories could not have been as good as they were.

Answer 2

The complete question is the following:

Which two sentences best define mood in literature?

A.the attitude of a writer toward the audience

B.the atmosphere that the writer creates

C.the emotions that a literary work evokes

D. the attitude of a writer toward the subject

E.the interpretation of themes by the reader

Answer:

B.the atmosphere that the writer creates

C.the emotions that a literary work evokes

Explanation:

In literature, the mood is the prevailing emotion or feeling that a literary work evoke, which at the same time, creates the atmosphere of the work. Mood is mainly determined by word choice. For example, take a look at the following excerpt from The Road by Corman McCarthy and notice how the choice of words creates the mood:

The blackness he woke to on those nights was sightless and impenetrable. A blackness to hurt your ears with listening. Often he had to get up.No sound but the wind in the bare and blackened trees. He rose and stood tottering on that cold autistic dark with his arms outheld for balance while the vestibular calculations in his skull cranked out their reckonings.

Here, words like “sightless and impenetrable,” “blackness,” “blackened trees” and “on that cold autistic dark” creates a gloomy and somber atmosphere in the narrative and, consequently, it evokes that same feeling within the reader: the mood of the excerpt is gloomy.
