A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings

Re-read paragraph 4. How does the language in the paragraph contribute to the tone of the story?

  1. AThe joyful words used to describe the healing of the child create a hopeful tone.
  2. BThe straightforward, objective descriptions of the events and characters’ feelings create a removed, neutral tone.
  3. CThe choppy sentences and many clauses develop an urgent and insistent tone.
  4. DThe bleak descriptions of the setting convey the desperation of the family and create a hopeless tone.
