Tone and Mood

A review: DENOTATION - the dictionary meaning of the word. A trick? Dictionary and denotation both start with “D” Sometimes its not what you say, but how you say it…. CONNOTATION: -the implied meaning of a word The author is trying to “con” you into sharing their attitude

Characterization Direct characterization: the author explicitly states Ex. The quiet girl sat alone in the library. Indirect characterization: traits can be inferred from the actions, thoughts, and words of a character Ex: He won a trophy for the MVP on his high school basketball team.

What are tone and mood? Tone is the author’s attitude toward a text. Tone can be positive, negative, or neutral.

Positive, Negative, and Neutral: Tone + Neutral +/- Negative - A favorable and supportive attitude toward a text Neither positive or negative attitude A critical or disapproving attitude toward a text Ex: admiring, humorous, appreciative, nostalgic, celebratory, playful, romantic, excited Ex: reflective, informative, ceremonial, provocative, questioning Ex: angry, derogatory, hopeless, paranoid, disappointed, mournful, violent, accusatory
