Today in class we continued our discussion on the difference between tone and mood. Tone by definition is the attitude of the text while mood is something in text that evokes an emotion or feeling. But today we looked more in depth with tone. In Class we analyzed three videos. The first video was about North Korea propaganda, in the video the United States was being portrayed as this nation that doesn't have proper housing and we eat birds and snow, and other upsurd things that were said about the U.S. Along with that video we analyzed the tone of it and came to the conclusion that the tone of that video is very bold because by stating those obvious lies about the United States it was very forward. The second video was a state farm commercial where you have two different instances with the same dialougue but with two completely different tones and after the video we analyzed how dialougue and how it is portrayed by someone can effect tone. The third and final video was Vincent Price's portrayal of The Tell Tale Heart and analyzed what elements in the monolougue contribute to the tone of the poem. The tone of that poem was very cynical because the poem is about how one man murders the other.
