The steps for analyzing tone in order

English
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: 1. Select only the key words and phrases—ones that reveal something significant about the author, the subject, or the audience. (Write these words in the left column of your journal.)
2. Pay attention to the context and the subject of each of the words you choose. Ask yourself,
a. “What is the author referring to?” and
b. “What else is happening before and after this particular word or phrase?”
3. Categorize the evidence you have gathered. Group words and phrases by meaning, by
effect, by context, or by some other criterion you establish. This categorization will help
later when you write your commentary and, eventually, your essay.
4. Comment on your evidence by using the rhetorical triangle. Ask yourself,
a. “What is the author revealing about himself (or the speaker)?” or b. “What is the author revealing about the subject?” or
c. “What is the author revealing about his intended audience?”
5. Always include commentary on the author’s purpose. Discuss whether or not the author is achieving his intended purpose, and why. (If possible, comment on the tone that the author reveals or the mood that he creates.)

Hope this helps :)

Read this thesis statement: "Heart of Darkness plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo." What is wrong with it?
Monica [59]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Read this thesis statement: "<em>Heart of Darkness</em> plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo." What is wrong with it?:

A) It is too narrow.

B) It is a plot summary.

C) It is too obvious.

D) It is not supported by the text.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) It is too narrow.

Explanation:

As we know, this story is narrated by the protagonist, Charlie Marlow, who tells us of the journey he made going up a tropical river to locate a certain Kurtz, an elusive and legendary explorer who, according to his superiors, seems to have entrenched himself deep inside from the jungle. Soon the journey turns into a multi-troubled journey, with mystery and degradation growing as the legend of Lord Kurtz enlarges and takes shape.

The novel is based on a true story in the life of Conrad, who sailed up the Congo River as a ship captain in 1890 while working for the SGB company. There, amid the exploitation and genocide that the settlers carried out in the Congo Free State - the private preserve of King Leopold II of Belgium - Conrad was truly traumatized, wanting to relate the horror of his experience in a book in which, on the other hand, and despite the parallels between author and protagonist, no real places or characters are mentioned.

Just using the phrase<em> "plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo"</em> is too vague to describe the actual plot. Therefore, answer A is correct.

Choose the answer that best matches the word in italics.
sertanlavr [38]

Question 1: D.  If something is cavernous, that means that it has a large cavity in it. However, according to the context in the question you posted, the best answer would be ‘a large and dark space.’

Question 2: C. A paradox is something that contradicts itself. For example, if I travelled back in time and killed my mother before she met my father, she would never give birth to me. However, that would mean that I would never have an opportunity to go back in time and kill my mother, because I wouldn’t exist. So, my mother would be alive, which means I would be alive, which means I could travel back in time to kill her, which means she would be dead- and on and on.

Question 3: I’m not sure about the answer for this one. Synchronization is harmony, or movement at the same time; for example, I want to achieve synchronization in my cheering routine with the rest of my teammates- this means that we would perform the cheering routine at the same time, in harmony with each other. The answer is probably C or D.

What is the core message of Taylor swift's red? Using 2 quotes, 2 language techniques and use a PEEL paragraph format?
torisob [31]

Answer:

Red” by Taylor Swift includes many literary devices to convey a highly strong message. The most important literary devices the artist uses are personification, symbolism and hyperbole. Primarily, the artist uses personification to show the problem encountered in her life. Personification is the attributes of human traits, emotion and form applied to something nonhuman. It is used to give writing life, and relate ideas and objects to humans, which is more effective to convey the author’s message. Taylor Swift says “Passionate as sin ending so suddenly “ in line 2. Personification is used greatly to emphasize and describe where things went wrong.
