Question 6 • Literature and Composition I

Which best defines "mood" in a poem?

Answer
A
the repetition of vowel sounds an author uses in a line of poetry
B
the main idea the author wants to communicate
C
the emotions that inspired the author to write the poem
D
the emotions an author hopes to draw out of readers

Explanation

Mood is the emotional atmosphere a poem creates for its readers—the feelings the author hopes they will experience while reading. Therefore, “the emotions an author hopes to draw out of readers” is the best definition. Repeated vowel sounds are assonance, and a poem’s main idea is its theme.
