Your words this week can be found on the tone handout. Let's go easy and say the first ten on the list. On the quiz, you will be asked to use the words in a "literary sentence." For example, if the word is sardonic (scornfully mocking) an example of a "literary sentence" might be (and we will discuss other possibilities in class):
"The author's scornful, mocking attitude toward the subject is evident in her sardonic tone."
Remember: An author has an ATTITUDE about something, which is reflected in the TONE of the piece, which creates a MOOD experienced by the reader.
