  4. Mood • The way a literary work evokes a certain emotion or feeling from the audience. (the way a reader feels after reading a story) • Ex: The mood created by Finding Nemo is suspenseful (because of the adventure) and happy (because of the goals each character accomplishes and the eventual reuniting of Nemo and his father).
