? Slide4

tone.Slide5

In
poetry, it is conveyed
with:
words and phrases,
imagery
,
figurative
language,
rhyme
and rhythm.
No
one word describes the mood- it can be a feeling of doom, fear, pride, chaos, peace, or love, gloomy, imaginary, optimistic, pessimistic, silly, thought-provoking, sadness, courage…Slide6

Tone and Mood
What’s the Dif?Slide10
Examples in writing
"Oh! No mortal could support
the horror
of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so
hideous
as that
wretch

ugly
then; but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived." -
Frankenstein
by Mary ShellySlide11
What’s the tone?

Another quote
"Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world." -
FrankensteinSlide13

2. What would you say are the most important words in the passage? What connotations, or associations, do these words have?
3. What general feeling do the passage’s images create?
4. Are there any hints that the narrator/speaker/author does not really mean everything he or she says?
5. Does the narrator/speaker/author make any jokes? If so, are these jokes lighthearted, bitter, or something else?
6. If the narrator/speaker/author were speaking aloud, what tone of voice would he or she be using?Slide15
