Tone

 

In this unit, you have read three famous stories/poems that were written by Hemingway, Frost, and Angelou. These writers use tone to express emotion and, thus, a message. Please read the following articles to help strengthen your responses in this discussion board:

Initial Response: Select one of the stories/poems from this unit. In two strong paragraphs, explain how you think the tone of the story or poem influences the author’s message. Please make sure that you discuss what you consider to be the tone of your chosen story or poem as you discuss the way tone and the message of the story/poem are connected. Use some text examples to support your response. At the end of your initial post, please pose a question regarding the tone and message of the story to your classmates.
