3. Literary Term: TONE
Literary term:
Tone: The author's, speaker's, or character's attitude toward a subject or event.
Remember mood?
Mood accounts for the feelings that the author creates within an audience. Those feelings belong to the audience.
Tone, however, belongs to the author/speaker.
Notice how my tone
shifts, depending on my purpose: Get out! (angry) versus get out (playful)
Tone also relies on
audience: If you want permission from your parents to do something your tone
might be submissive and extremely respectful.
If you want your little
sibling to do something, your tone might be threatening.
In writing, we have a
voice, but it is not audible. We must use our words to convey the tone.
Tone Exercise
We're going to study a primary source document that lists some of reasons why Americans are upset at the British. We will then compare this to how the book portrays these issues (most likely tomorrow)
