Hi Everyone, thank you for your excellent insights! I can see that for some reason this topic has generated more discussion than usual as it should, considering that the tone constitutes “the voice” of the writer’s message! For example in your Poster AOL, Tone is one of the 21 assigned literary devices that you must complete! You must define a specific literary device (i.e. “Tone is…”), then once you define it, you must provide the actual quote from Death of a Salesman, and then complete the task by explaining the significance of that quote, clearly indicating the significance of the tone within it. Again, you guys must review the co-created success criteria, because I noticed that a lot of you are not completing all of the tasks:
1) You must define each element of the contemporary plot chart, i.e., the Rising Action (Crises 1-4, Climax) and then the Falling Action (Initial Shock, Acceptance, Catastrophe, Redemption, Catharsis, and finally, the Conflict Resolution)!
2) Once you define them, then you must find quotes from the play to support your claim, i.e., “this quote clearly demonstrates the power of the climax in DOS (Death of a Salesman), because…”.
3) You must follow the exact character shield formula and do not forget to cite and explain your favorite quote uttered by each of the three selected characters for your AOL!
4) Do the same for the themes (DEFINITION, SUPPORT QUOTE, CONCLUSIVE ANALYSIS for each theme and figure of speech! You tend to drop a lot of Application marks because your posters are often incomplete, and ironically, “Tone” is one device that you guys need to address in the above formulaic fashion!
