TONE

What is tone in a story?  It is like a voice that is speaking to you.  A literary technique to show the overall attitude towards the subject of the story.  It affects the meaning of the story, and how you interpret it. Intense Dark Romantic Proud Desperate Depressed Calm

Why is tone important in a story?  When the author sets a tone, it also sets the mood for the reader.  Author=Tone Reader=Mood  It helps to convey the message the author is trying to give.  It helps to find the theme, purpose, and main idea of the story.  “What is the author trying to tell me?”

Word usage is important when establishing tone!  admiring  adoring  celebratory  cheerful  comforting  compassionate  confident  delightful  ecstatic  elated  encouraging  friendly  funny  gleeful  gushy  optimistic  passionate annoyed anxious apprehensive bitter blunt bossy cold conceited confused demanding depressed desperate disappointed disrespectful doubtful embarrassed

Symbolism expresses tone!  Weather patterns (Sunshine, cloudy, raining, rainbows, etc. )  Colors- What colors do you think show tone?  Idioms show tone!  Since we can’t see body language and facial expressions, authors have to WRITE them. (Slouched body, droopy face, jumping for joy)

“I really need you to come inside now.”  If the voice calling you is happy, what might the mood inside the house be?  What events or details in the house would make for a happy mood?  What events could cause an angry mood?  What events could cause a calm or serious mood?

How does tone affect the author’s purpose?  The tone of the story helps the author to portray what he/she is thinking while telling the story and what they are trying to tell you throughout.  With no facial expressions, body language, and actual voice, the author has to find a way to portray his/her thoughts in a creative way. That’s what keeps the reader interested!

“Hello, Kira,” smiled Max. He walked over to give Kira a hug. “I have been waiting all week to see you. Tell me what is happening in your life.” Kira looked away, out the window.
