The use of shift in mood and setting help readers visualize the environment where a specific situation is happening by describing the setting and understanding more of the astrologers characteristics using shifts in mood.

3rd person omniscient gives the reader the chance to experience the story without the lens of the characters. The murder might have been portrayed differently, the reader is only told when the characters emotional response is important to the story adding more detail or even mystery.

The setting allows the reader to visualize the scene and perhaps infer other aspects of the setting even if it isn't deliberately written. Perspective can causes the theme to be very one sided and simpler or broad and complicated.

The use of 3rd person omniscient gives me a better perspective of the astrologer's emotions and thoughts.

The climax affected my reading of the story when I found out that the astrologer tried killing the customer helped me understand why he left his village earlier and why he doesn't want the customer to ever come back again.

Having the point of view in 3rd person omniscient allows the readers to understand the story from not just one persons view but see all the characters views and thoughts.

The 3rd person point of view definitely gives a "take it how you wish" idea of a story where you can evenly see all sides of the conflict and resolution, it also adds to irony of you knowing something that the character doesn't, and gives just a more well rounded story.

The use of a shift in mood was an effective way of telling the reader that something suspicious was going on with the astrologer. It made a point of the astrologer being stressed and panicked over the appearance of the man.

I believe that the natural flow of the story, from when he is introduced as an astrologer at the beginning, and then serves customers just before it is time to go, where he encounters someone who challenges him. We all know that he understands that his job is one of deception and charm, but he takes up this man's offer, and tells him things that no ordinary person would know, solidifying his omniscience in the customer's eyes. After this, it naturally winds down until the end, where it is revealed he only knows these things as he had tried to kill the customer many years before. Through this structure, it provides a steady course of reading.

The use of shift in mood from confident to stunned conveys the guilt and shame the astrologer felt when he saw the man's face.

By having the story in a 3rd person point of view, though the reader sometimes knows what the astrologer is thinking/feeling, we don't always know. This is especially important when he sees the man he used to know because it keeps the reader in mystery as to how he feels about seeing him.

the reader can recognize the fear of the astrologer, and it adds more depth to the story and its details

I think the use of foreshadowing in the story allowed the reader to understand and further emphasis with the astrologer's current actions as they see the event that lead him to be in this situation.

the POV influences the reader because they know what every character is feeling. the reader is able to draw an emotional response that is more complete, since they understand the views of the different characters

It gives insight into thoughts of the "astrologer" and how thought about how to scam people and read their fortunes and makes you feel sympathetic for him

Throughout the story, we are told that the main character left his home for some reason, and he gives parts of his backstory while answering the questions of his former victim. Later, he outright admits to being the one who attempted the murder.

The use of a flashback describes how the astrologer knew so much about the man who was stabbed, and why the astrologer was so scared yet relieved to see him.

Using 3rd person Omniscient in the story, and having the narration be all knowing influences the emotional response to the story, by letting the reader into the minds of the characters, and letting them see what the characters are thinking, which gives a deeper understanding of the story.

The shift in mood and the rising guilt in the main character are what urges the main character to shoo away the man he almost killed instead of stepping up and coming clean, which relates back to the theme/idea that overwhelming guilt can cause you to protect yourself instead of owning up to your actions.

The point of view influenced the readers response to the story because it gave the readers the ability to watch the story unfold from all the different characters because of how the speech would swap from character to character.

At first, it seems odd that the reader knows so much about the customer. However, through the use of a flashback, it is explained how the astrologer knew so much about the customer.

The narrator's ability to understand the feelings of all parties allows for a juxtaposition between the feelings of the man about his attacker and the later guilt of the astrologer for nearly killing the man.

From the exposition you know that he isn't a real astrologer and he uses "shrewd guesswork". By knowing the deceptive nature of the main character we are able to figure out his personality and it gets you interested in the story.
