In what way can sentence structure affect the tone of a written work

English

sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago

There is typically more than one way to communicate an idea with regard to sentence structure, and how the sentence is structured contributes to its tone. For instance, short/brief sentences can contribute to a sense of hurry or haste. For instance let’s look at the following sentences:

I was late. I quickly ate. I brushed my teeth. I forgot to comb my hair. Then, I was out the door.

Can you feel the tone of urgency communicated by the short sentences?

Likewise, long and drawn out sentences can provide the tone of sluggishness and/or unwillingness. This is something to keep in mind when constructing your own sentences—as you are writing always be aware of your sentence structure and the tone it may communicating.

Answer:

Hi!

The answer to your question is that short sentences get to the point and can seem more honest.

Explanation:

Writers have to be careful with the tone they use for their work as the tone will affect how readers perceive the piece.

By using short, direct sentences, writers look to sound more direct, straight forward, and therefore, honest.

Metaphor
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Metaphor is the literary device in which two disconnected/different things are compared. Simile is also a comparison between two disconnected things, but simile uses words such as "like" or "as", while metaphor simple states that "one thing is another".

"The crest of each of these waves was a hill, from the top of which men surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse, shining and wind-riven." - Metaphor.

"As each wave came, and she [the boat] rose for it, she seemed like a horse making at a fence outrageously high." - Simile.

Personification gives human characteristics to objects, animals or ideas.

"If this old fool woman, Fate, cannot do better than this..." - Personification.

Symbolism is when a word is used to symbolize something else. In this example, "uncertainties" represent the waves.

"The open boat is described as 'bobbing along among the universe's uncertainties." - Symbolism.
