Question

What was the effect of voice, tone, and imagery in “Diary 33” and “Diary 24” from The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers? Use examples from the text to support your response.

Answer 1

Answer:

The tone of "Diary 33" is self-assured and morally upstanding. This tone allows the reader to better grasp the author's character or voice: she is determined to accomplish her goals despite the obstacles in her path. The sight of the girl and her mother causes her confidence to waver. The tone shifts from confident to uncertain, highlighting the author's moral predicament. The moral problem clearly hits close to home for the author, and the reader is given a glimpse of that via the images of the distraught mother and her distraught daughter.

The voice of "Diary 24" is conversational and open, which wins the reader's confidence. Tones, it's all over the place, from sarcastic to irritated, but ultimately the author treats his readers as if they're same level with him.
