In this activity, students will identify and illustrate the tone in the text.
Example 1: Horror
“And the meeting-house windows,
blank and bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon”
Example 2: Gloomy
“A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar,”
Example 3: Hopeful
“The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out
by that steed, in his flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.”
