Answer: Three literary elements Roald Dahl effectively uses are mood, tone, and imagery.
Mood is the emotion or atmosphere of a story. One example of mood is hungry.
For example, “They went from morning to night with horrible, empty feelings in their stomachs.”
The fact that they do not have anything to eat shows us that they are feeling so hungry.
This makes the characters seem like real people that you might see starving on the side of the road.
While mood is the character’s emotions, tone is how I feel about the character.
An example of tone is when the author describes Charlie Bucket’s house. For example,
“Six grownups and little Charlie lived in a small wooden house on the edge of a great town.
” This makes the story interesting because when I read about the Bucket’s house, I feel bad for the family
While tone is how I feel about the character, imagery is when the author uses sentences in a way that creates images in your head.
One example of imagery is when the author describes the girl, Veruca Salt. For example, “She would lie on the floor for hours, kicking and screaming in the most disturbing way.”
When I read this, I imagine a very spoiled little girl lying on the floor
yelling and screaming. She’s probably wearing nice clothes and fake crying. This is interesting because I don’t like spoiled people, and reading about a girl who would do that makes me angry, and makes me want to slap some sense into her.
