Key Terms for English Language - Mood and Feelings

You need to know the following key terms for your English Language exam:

Atmosphere

The tone or feeling created in a piece of creative work.
- E.g. The dark sky hung ominously as they shivered in fear.

Pathetic fallacy

Pathetic fallacy is when a writer gives human emotions to things that are not human, such as objects, animals or, most commonly, the weather.
- E.g. the night was unruly.

Pathos

When language creates pity or sadness in the reader.
- E.g. When advertisements for charities show small children looking sad and living in horrible conditions - this is used to evoke pity and sadness in the audience, encouraging them to donate money to the cause.
