diction...syntax

Diction is the author's choice of words. When an author chooses words that are dark and mysterious, it sets a dark and mysterious tone. For example, in "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe opens the story using the following words in the first paragraph: nervous, dreadfully, mad, disease, destroyed. These words all lead to a tone of insanity. Syntax is similar to diction in that it refers to the author's specific word choice, but it is more about the way the words are put together and specific phrases.

Theme is the author's main idea of message. Moral is the lesson learned from the story. Character is the person in the story. Conflict is the main problem in the story. Resolution is how the problem is fixed.
