Question

5. The tone of a story is the author's attitude or approach to the selection. What tone is set by the very first sentence in this story The Feather Pillow ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The tone given in the first sentence is a tone of disappointment, as things were not as good as Alicia thought they would be.

Explanation:

The first sentence of "The Feather Pillow" shows that Alicia was somewhat disappointed with her honeymoon. That's because she imagines a perfect, delicate, romantic and happy honeymoon, but her fiancé presented himself in a rude way, somewhat impolite and with no romanticism. This gives the story a disappointment tone, as Alicia's disappointment is conveyed to the reader.
