Atmosphere: The emotional mood created by the entirely of a literally work, established partly by the setting and partly by the author's choice of objects that are described. Even such elements as a description of the weather can be contribute to the atmosphere. Frequently, atmospheric foreshadows events.
Example:
" The stars was shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippowill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die; and the wind was trying tow hisper something to me and I coulnd't make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me."
This is an example of atmosphere because it's describing how the weather it's outside. Although hes describing it in personafication. Also we can infer that something bad is about to happen, because it mentions death.
