1. Foreshadowing: ● a technique that writers use to add tension to a story ● give details that hint at coming events

2. Example: A character left a door unlocked in her haste, and it may foreshadow a later event--a pet getting loose.

3. Example in “The Monkey’s Paw” In this passage, the character Morris is speaking about a monkey’s paw with a spell on it. “ If you keep it, don’t blame me for what happens.” Here, the author uses foreshadowing to hint at a future event relating to the monkey’s paw.

6. How are the two videos different? The two had different tones (an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience, usually conveyed through the choice of words or the perspective of the writer on a subject).

7. Examples of Tone: 1. Can someone tell me what on Earth is going on here?! a. The tone is aggressive 2. This rain is so wonderful. I just love being stuck inside all day. a. The tone is sarcastic 3. Hooray! There’s no school on Monday! a. The tone is cheerful

8. Example of Tone in Literature: The last stanza of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken”: “I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” Frost tells us about his past with a “sigh.” This gives the above lines an unhappy tone. This tone leads the reader into thinking that the speaker in the poem had to make a difficult decision.

9. Practice! From Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”: “It was a low, dull, quick sound--much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath-- and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly-- more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men--but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! What could I do? I foamed--I raved--I swore!”

10. Practice (Answer)! The tone of this passage is insane, nervous and guilty. The narrator’s over-the-top mannerisms, such as when he “foamed,” “raved,” and “swore,” illustrate his distress.

11. What is the Difference Between Tone & mood? Mood the is the emotional atmosphere produced by an author’s use of language. Mood refers to the way a reader feels while reading a piece. Whereas, tone refers to an attitude a writer takes towards a subject.

12. So...why is tone important?

13. Tone helps the reader understand the author’s purpose and/or the theme of a selection.
