TONE

MEMORIZE THIS DEFINITION!

TONE
The attitude a writer takes toward the reader, a subject, or a character
------------------------------------
As a reader, you must infer the tone of a story or poem. In other words, you must use clues from the writer’s choice of words and details the writer includes to decipher the tone.

What is the overall tone of The Giver? (What is the attitude conveyed through the language the writer used, and the events and actions of characters described in the story?)

Well i thin kthat Jonas and gabriel are dead. I think that becase When jonas nd gabe got to the top of the hil they saw a sled which so happened to be in the memory that teh giver gave him after he became the reciever. And i also think they crashed into a tree. Which is what killed them.

David --

You are so lucky I came in to school tonight! I can't print it because Mr. J's room is locked, but you can print it first thing in the morning in the library. I won't be here on TUES. DEC. 18, so you'll need to print it yourself, but it's here!
