Tone and author intent
Identify the author's purpose and point of view.
Tone shapes meaning. The authors attitude determines how claims should be interpreted. If you misread tone, you will choose answers that distort the authors intent.
- Tone guides interpretation
- Author intent determines passage purpose
- Correct answers are often moderate
- Track whose voice is speaking
- Paragraph purpose prevents confusion
Choose one passage you read recently. Write the authors tone in one word and the purpose in one sentence.
