4. Voice Lesson: Tone #1

5. Tone – Why now?
Tone is last because understanding tone requires an understanding of ALL the elements writer use to create it:
Diction
Detail
Figurative language
Imagery
syntax

6. Tone – What is it?
Tone is the expression of the author’s attitude toward his/her audience and subject matter. It can also be the speaker or narrator’s attitude toward his/her listener or subject matter…sometimes it’s a little of both!
Tone is the feeling that grows out of the material – the feeling that the writer creates for the reader.
There are as many different tones as there are feelings:
serious,
light-hearted
playful
sarcastic
accepting
And on and on…see the handout I gave you a few weeks ago with the list of words categorized

7. Tone – more… Tone is easy to understand in spoken language
Tone in speech is understood by listening to words, listening to HOW the words are communicated, reading facial expressions, etc.
Example: See if you can express the different attitudes behind the word right that are listed below:
Right?
Is this right?
Right!
You’re absolutely right.
This won’t happen.
Right.
I heard you, but I don’t believe you.
Turn right, not left!

8. Read and Think:
The Baudelaire orphans went to the bedroom and glumly packed their few belongings. Klaus looked distastefully at each ugly shirt Mrs. Poe had bought for him as he folded them and put them into a small suitcase. Violet looked around the cramped, smelly room in which they had been living. And Sunny crawled around solemnly biting each of Edgar and Albert’s shoes, leaving small teeth marks in each one so she would not be forgotten. -- Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning
