Dangling gerund: By studying so hard, we missed the six o'clock news.

A gerund is a verb ending in -ing that is used as a noun. Studying is the object of the preposition by. Only nouns or pronouns can be used as objects of the preposition. The problem in the original sentence is that the subject, the news, is not what was studying. Whoever was studying is missing - this creates the dangling part of the dangling gerund. In the corrected sentence, we is the subject of both the main verb, missed, and the gerund, studying.

What do Doodle's repeated pleas of "Don't leave me"
AnnyKZ [126]
Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."

Doodle was frightened of being left. "Don't go leave me, Brother," he cried, and he leaned toward the coffin. His hand, trembling, reached out, and when he touched the casket he screamed. A screech owl flapped out of the box into our faces, scaring us and covering us with Paris green. Doodle was paralyzed, so I put him on my shoulder and carried him down the ladder, and even when we were outside in the bright sunshine, he clung to me, crying, "Don't leave me. Don't leave me."

What do Doodle's repeated pleas of "Don't leave me" foreshadow?
Later in the story, the narrator races ahead and leaves Doodle to struggle behind during a terrible storm.

Tone is the way a narrator conveys his feelings when speaking or writing. A speaker can have a happy, anxious, angry, depressed tone.

Mood on the other hand is simply the atmosphere which the tone of the narrator creates in a work.

Some differences between tone and mood:

  • Tone refers to the choice of words a speaker decides to use
  • Mood is the atmosphere a reader gets when reading the words of a speaker.
  • Tone and mood does not have to be only positive and uplifting words because a tone can be either negative or depressing.
