Tone And mood

The night was dark and gloomy and by the campfire all that could be heard was the crackle of the fire. I suddenly realised these peanuts are making me thirsty.

The air was cold and the mountain was empty. All that could be heard was the sound of my board crashing into the snow.

I suddenly realised, where's my sister!

Tone is the way something is said.
Mood is the way somethings is described. (Setting)

Snow


Snow is a poem by  Lukasz Walterowicz. It is about snow falling and the qualities of snow.  The first line, flakes falling on our heads is touch imagery. The flakes are falling on their head and it makes the reader feel like there is snow all around them. Ebullient animas of angels Rejected at heaven’s gate. This is a Metaphor  transferring the quality of the angles to the snow. White. Short,snappy sentence that explains itself.  Simple but affective.  White is sight imagery because it's colour. Pure. This is a metaphor of cleanliness.  Light. Light is sight imagery but it symbolises sight and being able to see. Soft. This is touch imagery because you feel the softness of things. ice-cold is  touch imagery because you can feel the how cold it is but it's also taste imagery because you can also taste the tempreature of  things. Tender. This is also taste imagery because meat can be tender but it's also a metaphor because its transferring the quality of tender meat to snow. Silent this is sound imagery even though no sound is made. In this poem there is imagery and metaphors. This is a very powerful poem.

Character

Man Vs Man
Man Vs Self
Man Vs Technology
Man Vs Nature
Man Vs Socoty
 2 types of character :
- Flat - caricature - 1 characteristic but really over the top
          - archetype - 2-3 characteristics

The Landlady -

Billy thinks that the landlady is a caricature (crazy old lady ) but the reader knows she's is a archetype  ( kind but also a killer ).  But by the end we realise she a round character.

Billy - Polite/Honest
         - Trusting
         - Curious                          = Round character
         - Naive/ innocent

Landlady - kind
                - secretive
                - sweet
                - manipulative - the landlady is to Billy as a fisherman is to a fish

Both characters are round

When a character changes = growing character
Conflict = change                

- Round

Symbolist

A room full of butterfly's

A room full of mottled multicoloured butterflies - symbolism 
enclosed within a creative space 
of artful design
to inspire and aspire
Flirt and flutter - sight imagery 
a delicate ballet. Metaphor
A splash of color - sight imagery 
an oasis
among a drab row  

of urban gray
The door is opened
to release to freedom  - symbolism 
Flying high over lush green trees - metaphor 
way up high through clear blue
unblemished skies
floating on a cushion of air - metaphor 
like autumn fallen leaves
in a gentle breeze  
     Simile 
Painted Ladies - symbolism 
resting upon my heart for a while
making it smile
so pleasing to my eye
A symbol of freedom - symbolism 
and eternity
that fills my dreams
with treasures of summer.

The Sun

The sun :
The sun was burning like a spicy Indian food



The sky :
The sky blood red



The clouds :
The clouds were burning cotton candy. 

The snowboarder

Hyperbole = a sophisticated was for saying exaggeration

              Similes

The wind was howling like a wolf at a full moon.
The trees were coved in snow like a white blanket.
The sky was blue just like the Antarctic Ocean.

The trees were covered in a white blanket as if at any moment they would fall into a never ending slumber.  (Carina's)

          Metaphors

The snow was fresh dust in my face.
The snowboarder was a bird fast and wild.
