English

Leviafan [203]1 year ago

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.

HELP MEH PLEASE ILL GIVE BRAINEST Create your dream life. Describe it in detail.
wlad13 [49]
A “dream life” is subjective to many people. While idealistically in America’s eye a dream life would likely be wealth, being extremely successful, perhaps famous, etc. But for a minority like me who is gay, I’d love for there to be a world where there wouldn’t have to be a “coming out” style and not simply expecting the default to be heterosexual. If the human race had been more open-minded and accepting progression would go as far as working together to solve things without divisibility or worrying about being disowned or if it caters towards your families beliefs. That is what a dream life is to me.
