TONE, DICTION,PURPOSE
DO NOW: DON'T TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME!
Have you ever heard this phrase? What does it mean to you?
What does it make you think about? How do you respond to this
statement? What is it expressing?
TONE
• Tone is the author's attitude towards the writing, characters, and the readers.
• Tone is the attitude toward the topic.
• Tone is often tied to emotion.
• A work of writing may have more than one tone.
• Tone should not be confused with mood.
• Mood is the general atmosphere created by the author's words.
• Mood is the feeling the reader gets from reading the words.
• Authors set a tone or mood by conveying an emotion through word choice.
• Word choice is known as diction.
NOW LET'S COMPARE AND
CONTRAST TONE AND MOOD
• Let's watch a short video before we go on.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDUhDV-72S0
• Make your own vent diagram
• What do the two terms have in common.
• How are they different.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO TRY YOUR HAND AT TONE
Write a paragraph or two that shows /expresses the tone of
arrogance.
ARROGANT
• What words did you write to convey the arrogant tone?
DICTION – WORD CHOICE
Diction is very important in determining your purpose.
Using the right word can make the difference between getting
hired and getting fired, getting a yes instead of a no, getting
accepted or not getting accepted.
USE THE WRONG WORD AND THIS
COULD BE THE RESULT!
WANT A DATE – USE THE RIGHT
WORDS!
POINT OF VIEW
Point of view is already defined in our notes .
Two basic types
first person and third person
There is also something called bias.
Bias is a preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment
Writing can be biased.
BIAS
• SUBJECTIVITY
• interpretation based on personal opinions or feelings rather than
on external facts or evidence
• synonyms: bias · prejudice · partisanship · partiality
• When we call something subjective, it means it has a bias to it. It
has a leaning or it has a way to be interpreted. It involved feelings.
OBJECTIVITY
• To Be Objective means to avoid bias.
• lack of favoritism toward one side
• A first person point of view is often more biased because it is told from one perspective
• Eye Witness accounts are biased
• A third person point of view is considered more objective because it avoids the personal
and sticks more to the facts.
• An essay test is a more subjective test than a multiple choice test which is called an
objective test.
PURPOSE
What Does the author hope to accomplish?
What is his or her reason for writing the piece?
This comes before all the others because this determines what form the writing will
take.
The diction and the tone reveal the author’s purpose to the reader.
NOW ON TO THE HARD WORK
• As we read the two exploration narratives, evaluate the author’s
tone, the author’s purpose, and the author’s subjectivity and
objectivity.
But Before we do ….
Let’s read the lyrics and watch the video and do an analysis.
Lyrics are in canvas. Pull them up in notability.
