Authors use many words, phrases, and techniques to convey a certain mood to an audience. In the play “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street,” written by Rod Serling, the author uses many ways to convey a hostile mood to the reader. The mood of the text is the atmosphere created by the author, and the author uses certain words and phrases in order to portray hostility to the reader. For example, Serling shows an aggressive mood when the stage directions state, “He stands there perspiring, rumpled, blood running down from a cut on the cheek.” The author conveys a hostile mood by using word choice that creates a feeling of tension, drama, and violence by using the words “perspiring,” “rumpled,” and “blood.”
The anger in the book comes almost completely in first-person reports. In between the methodical descriptions of the investigation, townspeople vent their anger at the killers and the killers rage against the unfairness of life.

Sometimes authors use words to bring up strong feelings in others. They can be used to inspire action, provoke or calm people, or even persuade people to make changes and view things differently. Writers use methods such as: analogy, allusion, pathos, or charged language. Starting in 1962, Americans started a movement to try to end the use of pesticides. There were many activists throughout that time who stood up against farmers who were using dangerous pesticides.
The contrast of words and actions shows the strengths of each. Words are portrayed with both negative and positive interpretations, though viewed by many of the characters for the negative counterpart. Negatively, words are used tactics of self preservation and selfish gain in the case of Anse. Words are shown as a positive and profound avenue that is unrealized by the characters themselves. Positively, words are used by characters to understand the complexities of the actions of those around them, especially by Darl.
This is shown when the characters in this novel speak out against a concept they know nothing about. Therefore, the literary terms an author uses can make an immense impact to the connections the reader makes to a novel, and help to shape a theme that is found throughout

But due to it being a text it causes us the readers to have to sort of interpret what is going on while reading the text. While the text can be describing the mood in a creepy way, the way we read and visualize things may be the total opposite as the text and it isn’t as powerful as us physically seeing the characters being harmed in a film and us the readers and authors being on the same page. For example the text stated “With each dive, with each attack, they became bolder. And they had no thought for themselves. When they dived low and
A second writing technique that they use in the story is emotional appeal. Emotional appeal is how the writer describes the feelings generated by events in the story.
