Staying at the honey house, she learns more than the honey business itself, she begins to realize that the same lessons they teach her about the bees can apply to her life. When explaining how to handle the bees, August says, “Above all, send the bees love.

    Stated from page one, "The air held a keenness that made her nose twitch. The harvesting of the corn and cotton, peanuts and squash, made each day a golden surprise that caused excited little tremors to run up her jaws." (Walker 1). This quote from the short story illustrates how the word choice uplifts the story and allows the mood to appeal to be such a joyful and light-hearted story. This type of diction is also found in the story "Everyday Use". To develop the mood of the story, Mama's unique phrases full of diction are the key tool to distinguishing the mood. "In real life I am a large, big boned woman with rough, man working hands." (Walker 1). These types of phrases are found numerous times in the story. Mama's word choice keeps the mood of the story uplifting, even when there is tension between characters. Furthermore, in "The Flowers", as the story continues and reaches its climax, readers can find the mood turning into a more upsetting and gloomy feeling. "It seemed gloomy in the little cove in which she found herself. The air was damp, the silence close and deep." (Walker 1). This quote is placed right before the climax of the story, and with the word choice, the mood begins to slightly change. In addition, "It was only…
