A Rhetorical Analysis Of Princess Darwin

The words in paragraphs ten through twelve showed a lot of emotion. The overall tone of the passage is very pragmatic and frank. The author used many robust words that really set the tone of those paragraphs. For instance, for an example of pragmatic, paragraph twelve states, “He was outraged by the innkeeper's greed and deception.” The word outraged shows how disgusted and livid he was with the innkeeper’s actions. Another example is in paragraph twelve, “The farmer thanked the lawyer for his cleverness and happily returned home.” The word “happily” reveals that the farmer was very pleased with the conclusion of the case in the courtroom. Animated would be a good tone to describe this sentence. Frank tone in the passage is shown in paragraph
eleven,”The judge asked, "Sir, have you lost your mind? You don't actually think that cooked corn will grow, do you?" This is shown by the author stating, “have you lost your mind.” That is a very open and honest statement, therefore it is frank tone. The author’s word choice in the last few paragraphs really close out the story with good tone.
