How does atmosphere create feelings?

Answer 1

It's called pathetic fallacy--mostly used in terms of weather. Check out the wikipedia article below for more information.

Answer 2

When you say atmosphere in relations to writing, you ask a powerful question. What people were answering about the weather does relate to this. If it's cloudy and gloomy outside people tend to be in solemn moods. If your description is cloudy you readers are not going to enjoy your story. Imagine a tense room, no one sees tension, it's felt, it's the atmosphere; but even though it's part of the atmosphere everyone in the room knows it's there. Without the tension, say a where everyone gets along, the feelings between people would be much different. In other words, what goes on around you affects how you feel and what you do. When writing, put in the little naunances, such as someone glares, someone crosses their arms and cocks their hip, etc. that creates the feeling of the room. This is how you set up a scene. Creating the atmosphere of the scene creates the intended feeling.

Answer 3

If you mean atmosphere NOT related to weather as in the tone of a book or story, it all has to do with the images that are created in your mind as you read a story. Recent studies of children reading have shown that for many this "image making" in the mind is missing and it is theorized that this is why many young people do not read or enjoy reading. Much of this can be chalked up to young people being brought up in an image rich environment where images are provided for them and they don't know how to do it for themselves.
My generation had to create the images through imagination. Its sad that kids in school today have to be taught and encouraged to make images and shown how to "make mind pictures" when they are reading. Some students just read the words on the page word for word with no connection to the author's vision. Helping students create these images as they read is actually in the ninth grade English curriculum that I teach.
So this is some of the fallout from the technology age. I think its sort of sad really.....
