Quick Recap  Tone: Author/narrator’s attitude towards the subject and/or audience.  Point of View: The mode of narration that an author employs to let the readers “hear” and “see” what takes place in a story, poem, essay etc. Writers use a point of view to express effectively what they want to convey to their readers.  Irony: Irony is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words. It may also be a situation that may end up in quite a different way than what is generally anticipated. (Verbal, Situational, Dramatic)
