Question

What is Toni Morrison's tone in "The Reader as Artist"

Answer 1

Answer:

He uses a serious but friendly tone.

Explanation:

In the essay "The Reader as Artist" Toni Morrison reveals how delightful it is to have reading as a way of practicing art. In this essay he shows how reading as a skill is different from reading as an art.

In reading as a skill we can read the words of a text with mastery, but in reading as art we savor every detail of the text's construction, we reflect on the author's choices and we are able to visualize the characters, smells, flavors and the written environment in detail . In other words, we can affirm that reading as art is a form of immersion in the text, where we are taken completely to the right of the presented story and perceiving its smallest details.

In this essay Morrison uses a serious but friendly and sympathetic tone.
