An example of mood: Under the watchful eye of the full moon she stepped outside into the cold. The cold blast of wind almost sent her flying back into the cabin, but she stood her ground. Beside her, the lonely willow tree swayed violently as if going to break, and the vacant town is mute of all human voices. In this short paragraph, the mood is scary and perhaps lonely. The setting and the diction helped created that mood.
The mood can be affected by the setting. for example, in the short story, "The sniper," the setting was dark and in the middle of the city with gun shots resounding. This setting contributes to the tense,dangerous mood.
Example of "mood": The moment she stepped into the room, colors bursted in front of her eyes. Balloons were released and confetti flew all around the room. With a sudden yell of "SURPRISE!" all of her family and friends jumped from behind the furniture and greeted her warmly. She laughed and thank every one of them. The room was decorated with all the colors of the world, and a giant yellow banner hanging in the middle of the room, with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" written in cheerful letters.
The mood of this paragraph is cheerful and happy as it describes a surprise birthday party.
