Answer:
Tone, in written composition, is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is generally conveyed through the choice of words, or the viewpoint of a writer on a particular subject.
Every written piece comprises a central theme or subject matter. The manner in which a writer approaches this theme and subject is the tone. The tone can be formal, informal, serious, comic, sarcastic, sad, or cheerful, or it may be any other existing attitude.
Example:
Father: “We are going on a vacation.”
Son: “That’s great!!!”
– The tone of son’s response is very cheerful.
First of all, the setting is enhanced by a stark contrast between two images that are put into the equation. The first image represents a bleak, gloomy picture of anonymous faces deep beneath the ground, in the Metro station, waiting for their train to come. The second image suddenly brings us somewhere else - into nature, with hints to the bleakness of the first scene ("wet", "black"). The setting of this short, modernist haiku poem is a big city with all modernist fascination by its crowded scenes, dynamics, and alienation. It's like the speaker froze the image, the people's actions and movements at this crowded place on a busy day. But it's not the speaker's influence; it's their very act of passively waiting for the train. By introducing the glimpse into nature, Pound made a counterpoint that provides an entirely new and fresh perspective on the city scene. Another modernist element is the use of language - everyday language, unadorned, free of all formal restraints, direct ("these") and simple. It also enhances the setting of the poem because it fits into the city context.
Jack London wrote “The Call of the Wild” as a short adventure novel. He published it in 1903. The story is set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s when strong sled dogs were in high demand, this is really important to mention because the central character of the novel, Buck, the dog, was stolen from its owners and sold as a sled dog. Buck becomes gradually savage in the hard environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primitive instinct and arises as a leader in the wild.
Perhaps the strongest main idea of the passage is:
that sometimes pride is the only thing that can push you to survive in harsh environments, sometimes the only manner to thrive and progress in difficult situations is reversing to feral instincts and letting the wild animal inside of you to take control and fight your way to the top.
