I can conceptualise and explain the use of tone in an unseen poem.

Show transcript
The tone of a literary work expresses the writer's attitude toward or feelings about the subject matter. In order to determine the tone, we might ask questions about how the poem would sound if read aloud. We also might ask questions about the use of punctuation, structure and language in order to determine the tone. We might interpret Fainlight’s ‘Borrowed Time’ as having a reflective or desperate tone.
