Friday 10/20/17

In class on Friday we talked about tone and how tone affects readers. We started the class talking about the a character from The Breakfast club, We looked at the means of jock and student athlete. This than went on leading us into the differences between Denotation and Connotation. We than looked at 3 paragraphs from Diedrich Knickerbocker's "Rip Van Winkle" We looked for as many tones as we could, using textual evidence to back up the tone.

We finished the class with Mr. Rivers telling us that "#10: What Romantic themes does this text support about America?" Is not homework and that we will be looking at this document in class on Monday.

Tone relates to real life because while writing a essay or any thing you need to be able to have a tone that will help give your point across, and help the reader see from your point of view.
