Establishing Tone Through Use of Details Passage from Ruth McKenney's "A Loud Sneer For Our Feathered Friends" We refused to get out of the bed when the bugle blew in the morning, we fought against scrubbing our teeth in public to music, we sneered when the flag was ceremoniously lowered at sunset, we avoided doing a good deed a day, we complained loudly about the food...and we bought some chalk and wrote all over the Recreation Cabin "We hate Camp Hi-Wah." How does the author establish the negative attitude the campers have toward Camp Hi-Wah? Does sentence structure also contribute to the tone?

Establishing Tone Through Diction and Imagery Passage fromEdgar A. Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country. At length I found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher...I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled luster by the dwelling...[with] vacant and eye-like windows. What words and images contribute to the narrator's attitude about the House of Usher? What word would describe the tone of this passage?

Establishing Tone Through Sentence Structure Passage from James Ramsey Ullman's Kilimanjaro It has been called the House of God. It has been called the High One. The Cold One. The White One.

How does the sentence structure help establish this tone?
