The choice of words used in the "Not Waving but Drowning" by Stevie Smith exemplified a tragic tone.

<h3>What is a tone?</h3>

A tone is the mood or attitude of the author as exemplified in the text and their choice of words.

Some of the words used are as follows:

  • "Nobody heard him, the dead man,"       [Line 1]
  • "(Still the dead one lay moaning)"            [Line 11]

From the textual evidence above, it is clear that the tone of the poem is tragic as it speaks to someone who was fighting for his life but got his SOS call misinterpreted.

iren [92.7K]

The statement that best explains the aesthetic elements of a literary work is Aesthetic elements impart an artistic quality. Aestheticism has to do with beauty, with everything that is pretty and pleasing to the eye. So, aesthetic elements obviously has to do with art and making a literary work more artistic. They usually have no impact on characters, theme, or background of the story, but only on its artistic value.

My deepest apology if this is not what you meant. I would appreciate it if next time you put more detail. Thank you!
