Never Tell Me Mood Analysis

Decent Essays
The mood and tone of life as we knew it is changed as the book progresses like when Mom and Miranda fight the mood and tone change.The author uses this to tell us the story by giving it an attitude not just plain writing . In the book it says “I am so mad at mom I can scream….I hate mom for not trusting me.”This shows a change in tone and mood.So in this text it was changing the mood to hateful and the tone to angry.This is one of the signs that lead me to belive this is the language the author used.She used the word hate and hate is a word that would be used in an angry tone and in a hateful mood.

The author also used mood and tone to describe other things like happiness.In the text it said”Best day in ages...We swam and raced and had a good time,then oh happy day” In this text the author is telling the story with a happy tone and a happy mood.What led me to say this is that the author used the word happy.These are words you would use when you are happy and so the author did and was telling that part of the story in a happy mood and tone.The author used other words like great and amazing which also lead me to understand that the author is telling the story in different moods and tones.
