Terms I learned in class

Tone, we can tell tone by certain accents and punctuations.  It is part of our language, and writing style.  We can make out the meaning of some things just by knowing this.  Even if the person writing does not make any sense at all.
Setting, answers the where, who,what,and when.
Symbolism, things that appear to be one thing but mean something totally different.  Things that represent something used in writing that have abstract meanings or a double meaning.  The biggest example of this was in a Rose for Emily.  That rose itself, the thing that never appeared anywhere in the stoy except the title.  The things that rose represented (Sorrow, Pitty, and the fact that everything about Emily had a stinch on it).  The author decided she still deserved a rose.
