What is an internal conflict? What is an external conflict? What is the difference between third person limited and third person omniscient? What is theme? What can you use to determine theme

“The Most Dangerous Game” tells the harrowing tale of hunter Sanger Rainsford. Stranded on a remote jungle island, Rainsford seeks help at the chateau of General Zaroff. Zaroff, also a hunter, seems cultured at first, but then he forces Rainsford to become his quarry in a hunt to the death.

TONE is simply the author’s attitude toward the subject. You can recognize the tone/attitude by the language/word choices the author uses. His language will reveal his perspective/opinion (that is, whether it is positive/negative) about the subject. Tone must be inferred through the use of descriptive words.

 Bitter  Serious  Witty  Playful  Tender  Sympathetic  Haunting  Mysterious  Suspenseful  Tasteful/distasteful  Nonchalant  Angry  Attached/Detached  Innocent  Poignant  Compassionate  Humorous  Gore-y

The girls were playing in the pond, splashing each other and trying to catch fish with their hands. They were having fun, but kept looking over their shoulders at the looming forest. The long grass of the field kept moving and they sort of felt like they were being watched… About a half hour passed and still the girls kept checking the field for movements. It seemed like a pair of dark eyes was on them. They even considered going back inside, but that would mean homework time. So they continued splashing, but with caution now. Their eyes hardly left the field. The tone of this passage is ominous, suggesting a little bit of fear or foreboding. Words like "caution, dark, and looming“ lead readers to the tone.

Circle descriptive words that create tone! Donovan and Larry were early for baseball practice. They decided to run up and down the bleachers to exercise before the rest of the team arrived. Larry was first to the top. He whispered to Donovan, “Look over there.” He pointed to a man sleeping on the highest, narrow bench of the bleachers. His pants and shirt were faded, worn, and too large for his thin frame. One big toe stuck out of a huge hole in his sock. His scraped-up shoes sat a few feet away. Donovan whispered, “We should help him out. Let’s hide something good in his shoes. Then, when he wakes up, he will have a nice surprise.”

How would you describe the tone of this passage? a. Angry b. Detached c. Sympathetic Which words created this tone?
