For your one-page essay this week, you will answer the following question thoughtfully and thoroughly in a multi paragraph essay:
What is the tone of Tobias Wolff's book as the story opens?
Here are a few ideas to keep in mind:
- Follow the criteria outlined in the 'One Page Essay Rubric'.
- Since we are now writing our essays on Googledocs, the length is not technically one page; instead, the length requirement is 275-325 words.
- To submit your work, place the document in the folder you shared with me. (Do not share the individual document itself.)
- Clearly label your document. (A document name such as 'Cowlin TBL Tone Essay' would e helpful to both of us.)
One more this...
What is tone? Well, the tone of a text is defined as the attitude of the author/narrator towards the text. Below you will find some handouts that categorize common tones. Feel free to use one or two of these when answering your question.
