Was absent from school today

Tone vs Mood

Today we continued our lesson on rhetorical devices. We learned about mood and tone. Many writers have to consider their tone depending on different audiences. For example, you wouldn’t go to your mom yelling if she asked you to do the dishes. She most likely would say that you should change your tone. Although tone and mood may seem alike they are different in many ways. While tone is how you speak, mood is how the speaking make you feel or the atmosphere. Like if a writer wrote about a how he/ she went in a date and had dim lights and slow music playing , the mood or atmosphere would be romantic. Different settings affect your mood or how you view a character.

We had a Vocabulary quiz due today and when I say this process was no easy job. When I first heard about doing it I thought that it would take me a day to figure out and I would have everything ready. When it came down to it I was so unprepared. I was struggling to find things that would match my words but would be appropriate to bring to school. When it came down to it and I had to present my heart felt as if it dropped to my chest. I was nervous and my stomach even started hurting. When I saw everybody else presenting it was fun. When one person had presented it had the whole class cracking up. It was a fun day.
