Analysis Of The Poem Suicide's Note

The tone of a story, poem or novel is the way the author wants the reader to feel. Most people get the word mood and tone confused with each other, but the mood is the way the reader feels about the story, poem, or novel. In the novel the author’s tone is both suspenseful and sympathetic. For instance, it is suspenseful because Estrella wants to know what the chest filled with steel is for. Also, it is sympathetic because Estrella was being bullied by teachers and she did not realize it was happening until something hurt her feelings.

First I will define imagery, followed by metaphors, rhythm, structure and the importance of figurative language. Imagery is associated with mental pictures but it can be more complex than just a picture. “ The Things They Carried,” Tim O’Brien tells the story of each soldier by simply describing what he carries. Users of vivid description hold the readers interest. (Crossroads, p.23).

Another example of imagery in Whale Talk is “He

Imagery is figurative language that describes senses to the reader so the reader can easily imagine the scenes and action in a literary work. A piece of writing could describe a specific smell, for example, to help the reader capture the moment in their mind. Imagery affects the tone of the poem because certain images could trigger the reader's emotion and attitude towards the writing. For example, in "President Lincoln's Declaration of Emancipation, January 1, 1863" by Frances E. W. Harper, it says in description "Soon the mists and turkey shadows shall be fringed with crimson light," which makes the reader feel warm and hopeful that things will get better.

Imagery is used in writings to help visualize a picture in the reader mind. It can be used to describe how a person really feels about something. It can be used to help a reader connect to the story. Jennifer Clement used a lot of imagery in her book, Prayers for the Stolen.

Tone is related to the meaning of this poem, because the tone helps to show the different emotions attached to each stanza,
