3. **Standards Focus: Tone**

media type="custom" key="5602909"


 * Tone** is the emotional quality of the words that the author has chosen. It is also the author's attitude and point of view toward a subject; it reflects the feelings of the writer and can affect the emotional response of the reader to the piece. Authors cannot use "That tone of voice!" to demonstrate emotion. Authors need to use: biased words, inflated language, slang, jargon, and sentence structure to convey the emotion. **Mood** is the general feeling created by the tone. Writers want their readers to feel love and hate, joy and despair, fear, surprise, jealousy, etc.

For this practice, read the passages below. Under each passage is a google form that will ask you questions about the tone and mood of the passage. Answer the questions according to the passage that appears above the link.

"I couldn't sleep all night; a fog-horn was groaning incessantly on the Sound, and I tossed half sick between grotesque reality and savage frightening dreams. Toward dawn I heard a taxi go up Gatsby's drive and immediately I jumped out of bed and began to dress - I felt that I had something to tell him, something to warn him about and morning would be too late." google 1 link
 * Passage 1:**

"Through this twilight universe Daisy began to move again with the season; suddenly she was again keeping half a dozen dates a day with half a dozen men and drowsing asleep at dawn with the beads and chiffon of an evening dress tangled among dying orchids on the floor beside her bed. And all the time something within her was crying for a decision. She wanted her life shaped now, immediately--and the decision must be made by some force--of love, of money, of unquestionable practiciality--that was close at hand." google 2 link
 * Passage 2:**

"There was a faint, barely perceptible movement of the water as the fresh flow from one end urged its way toward the drain at the other. With little ripples that were hardly the shadows of waves, the laden mattress moved irregularly down the pool. A small gust of wind that scarcely corrugated the surface was enough to disturb its accidental course with its accidental burden." google 3 link
