The author, David Sedaris, uses setting to set the mood of the story. In the second paragraph, he gave you an image of being alone in the dark country. He uses this to foreshadow how he believes the Tomkey’s live, in the dark, alone. “It was speculated that just as a blind man develops a keener sense of hearing, the family must somehow compensate for their loss.” The author uses this simile excellently to state how he feels about loss. He thinks when you feel loss you must make up for it in some other way. What he does not realize is that he feels a loss himself. His loss is not having friends. Instead of making friends with the Tomkey’s, he would rather observe them like a television show. This is how he compensates for his loss. We can learn…

Various examples of how the setting reveals the mood of a story are found in “The Scarlet Ibis.” One specific example was at the beginning of the story where the author wrote “summer was dead, but autumn had not yet been born when the ibis came to the bleeding tree.” This sentence was the setting of the entire story and transmitted a thought that death would probably come in later somewhere in the story – and it did for both Doodle and the Scarlet Ibis. The storm that was occurring seconds before Doodle died was also an example of setting. When the narrator said “When we reached Horsehead landing, lightning was flashing across half the sky, and thunder was drowning out the sound of the sea,” the mood quickly escalated to alarming and frightening, and it gave the reader more suspense. Literally seconds after this mood is created, the narrator goes back to this tree where his little brother Doodle is lying dead with blood dripping from his lips. In “The Scarlet Ibis” the author demonstrates the use of foreshadowing to develop the mood to come later on in the story.…
A story is comprised of literary elements and literary devices. The basic literary elements of a story are setting, character, conflict, point of view, plot and theme. A story must have all these elements in order to become a fully developed story. Aside from these elements, writers often use literary devices to enhance the story, perhaps making the story more popular. Irony, a statement meaning the opposite of what is written literally when taken in context is one of the popular literary devices used. R. H. Lawrence also uses various ironies in his short story, Rocking-Horse Winner. Consequently, the various ironies in the story Rocking-House Winner effectively help to enhance the story by further developing the literary elements.…
The setting of the story in respects to the story's environment served to illustrate the mood of that particular time in the story. It serves a small role in words, but adds detail to enhance the feeling the reader gets when reading the story. The setting takes place in the town square, where the story starts out with "the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." An ambience of cheerfulness and buoyancy fills the air. Also, some foreshadowing is being used because the town square is a clue that the lottery must hold some kind of importance. Another piece of foreshadowing is when "Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie... eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square...," which hints at the impending doom of the lottery winner. The only place where setting is a factor is the beginning, because the setting stays the same, and the environment does not change in the two hours that the story took place in.…
