"Notes"

Since I was sick today and didn't come to school I decided to go onto my classmates blogs and see what they learned today, and from what I saw this is what I came up with.

Types of short stories~ 
Mood: how we feel when we read a text; how the author feels
Tone: how the author wants us to make us feel; authors attitude
Theme: the message the author is trying to give; the main concept of the story; central message
Diction: words the author uses

Other useful definitions~ 
Symbol: symbol that stands for something to the world , also a symbol refers to a referent
Allusion: (close to foreshadowing but a hint a author gives you) a reference to something that the author thinks we should know
Foreshadowing: author gives us a hint for what's going to happen later in the story
Syntax: how words are used; the way the author puts the words together  

"Young Goodman Brown is a example of a story that the author has something to get across."
