Women By Alice Walker Tone

Women is a poem by Alice Walker from the textbook on pages 752-753. I chose this poem to analyze the structured language. The poem describes the strength and determination these women had in fighting for their children’s right to equal opportunity in education. Both tone and imagery are used in communicating this theme. Tone used in English language defined by Merriam-Webster as “a quality, feeling, or attitude expressed by words that someone uses in speaking or writing”. For example, in body paragraph 1, the author describes the women as “Husky of voice-stout of Step”. The tone in this phrase clearly describes the strength of these women in speaking up for what they believed was right and not willing to back down or take no for an answer.
