When referring to writing, tone is described as the writer’s attitude toward their subject matter and audience. To analyze any literary essay, recognizing tone is vital to understanding how the writer feels about the subject he has written about but also the underlying message he is trying to convey. In the essay written by the investigative reporter Jessica Mitford entitled, “To Bid the World Farewell” Tone is very pronounced and effective in getting the main point of the essay across. The author uses many different tones, from which I have selected three to analyze. All three off them use the good principles of writing a convincing and informative essay. Her ability to sarcastically familiarize the general public with the ‘dark arts’ of the embalming industry is both suggestive and engaging. She also uses an abundance of euphemisms, hiding the disturbing truth under a string of organized connotations. Her last method of tone is to inform the reader of the embalming methods by explaining with the wordy and often misunderstood colloqialisms of an actual ‘dermasurgeon’, in which she provides multiple quotes to further convince the reader.

The Devil Take Tomorrow by Gretchen Jeannette, is historical fiction set in Philadelphia during the American Revolutionary War. Gretchen Jeannette did an exceptional job creating dynamic engaging characters that brought the uncertainty and intensity of the time period to life. I must admit that I am not an expert in the time period, but the detail given about the war, lifestyles, clothing, and culture seemed well researched to me. Most of the time, the historical elements were woven into the story, but there were moments where the reader would be temporarily transported outside of the story to be given historical context. This typically happened when background about a place or event that had been important earlier in the war was necessary for context for the reader who is not especially well versed in their knowledge of the Revolutionary War.

The Devil take Tomorrow by Gretchen Jeannette is a spell-binding tale set in the time of George Washington as the American military fights to repel the British invasion. From the outset we hear the sounds of battle in the distance and we see the colours of the redcoats, white breeches and black boots worn by the loyalists as the two enemies collide. We are immediately centre stage of the action as the party containing our heroine, Maddie, is attacked by rebels and only narrowly escapes, thanks to the arrival of Ethan. The attraction between Maddie and Ethan is immediate and the spark burns ever more brightly as the story develops.

Humanity is but a facet of the sublime macrocosm that is the world’s landscapes. In the relationship between man and landscape, nature is perpetually authoritarian. In her free-verse poems, The Hawthorn Hedge, (1945) and Flame-Tree in a Quarry (1949), Judith Wright illustrates the how refusal to engage with this environment is detrimental to one’s sense of self, and the relentless endurance of the Australian landscape. This overwhelming force of nature is mirrored in JMW Turner’s Romantic artwork, Fishermen at Sea (1796). Both Wright and Turner utilise their respective texts to allegorise the unequal relationship between people and the unforgiving landscape.

The poem “The Mother” written by Gwendolyn Brooks in 1945, is a poem that focuses on the immeasurable losses a woman experiences after having an abortion. The poems free verse style has a mournful tone that captures the vast emotions a mother goes through trying to cope with the choices she has made. The author writes each stanza of the poem using a different style, and point of view, with subtle metaphors to express the speaker’s deep struggle as she copes with her abortions. The poem begins with, “Abortions will not let you forget” (Brooks 1), the first line of the poem uses personification to capture your attention. The title of the poem has the reader’s mindset centered around motherhood, but the author’s expertise with the opening line, immediately shifts your view to the actual theme of the poem. In this first line the speaker is telling you directly, you will never forget having an abortion. Brooks utilizes the speaker of the poem, to convey that this mother is pleading for forgiveness from the children she chose not to have.
