Venice, Italy
Essay on the tone and the language of the text "Italy"

First of all, this reading text is a from a woman's experiences when she was in Venice, Italy. She describes lots of Venice's attractions, atmosphere, and also about her own feeling as she travel. As for the tone of this text, I can say that it is in a positive tone. Words that I uses to describe this positive tone are amazed, joyful, enjoyable and also mysterious.
Even if this text is in positive tone there are lots of words and quotes that are negative, such as "...hobble into the darkness" murderer, curses, or even threatened. She used those words in purpose to rise the audiences' attention and their curiosity up since the audiences might be wondering why she is using such words in a journal of her adventure in Venice. While reading this text I can see that it has got lots of implied meaning throughout the text, those words above are the answer of the implied meaning in this text.

Those words that represent the implied meaning showing that this text is not in the purpose of writing a travel journal of a person but the purpose of entertain, advertise and even persuade the reader to come and visit Venice.
I gave out five evidences of her purpose of advertise while reading it. It has such sentences like ":this was high spirit. Human, energetic, timeless...I'd waited forty years for this," this sentence can show that Venice is such a valuable place to travel since she'd waited forty years for it. "I was gazing into the past. Venice is time travel," this is to hint the readers how they should imagine Venice should looks like when it's saying that it is a time travel into the past.

Furthermore, is that "The top of the Campanile in San Marco had disappeared into the fog," this can show that she is describing not just the weather, but she also include the exact name of where it is and this is very in an advertising mode. "I hurried into Florian's...chocolate as thick as tree resin...its bittersweet

    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…

    The tone of this essay is quiet yet engaging. The quiet tone makes the reader feel as though White is talking one on one with them. It is engaging in this tone because it is more of a personal memory that White wants to share with the audience. For example, White uses the simple yet sophisticated sentence saying "We had a good week at camp." This can be interpreted in many ways, but White is simply telling the reader in a simplistic and quiet tone that camp was good. This is also still very engaging because the simplicity of it makes the reader curious as to what made it a good week at camp.…

    The use of diction in the account provides the basis of a negative feeling throughout the text. From beginning to end, the author carefully picks his words to provide a negative, ominous, and fearful connotation to the meaning of his sentences. For example, when the author describes his change in attitude at the beginning of the ambulance ride, he uses specific words to…

    Tone – “Arcadia,” by Tom Stoppard is a very unique play. There is no traditional, or orthodox narrarator. Tom Stoppard, instead, gives each character their own voice, and their own chance to speak. Although it’s difficult to identify just one outlying tone, the general feeling of the text in my opinion, was that of strong emotion or affection. Every character had a deep affection for the ways of the world.…

    Commentary: In order to develop ideas for this paper, I first analyzed the time of the Depression and what Italian Immigrants lives were like typically living in America. Using this background knowledge, I was able to analyze the lifestyles of the working class in each of the stories. Even though the background story of each of the family’s lives differed, they all had a common basis in that they were Italian Immigrant families working a hard lifestyle in order to support the family during economic hardship. I revised this paper by looking to see if my ideas were clearly expressed. I ran into an obstacle of trying to figure out which ideas to express, since the novels are characterized with many examples. In order to overcome this, I decided that I wanted to stick with the main points of the novel to my ideas across. This is where I think my strength came in. However, I think my weakness lies in organization of my ideas within each story.…

    The powerful words “hates” and “reviles” create a dramatic exaggeration of the speaker’s feelings toward Helen. The speaker finds no adoration in her artful depiction, but finds it repulsive for the “past ills” that Helen had committed. These past ills relates to the Trojan War, and how Helen’s abduction caused a large battle that would destroy a symbolic city into ashes. The speaker uses the term as if to say Helen had wronged them in causing such a conflict for reasons the speaker does not understand or care for, and wishes for revenge in the destructive fires that burned Troy to ground on her account. In the third stanza of “Helen”, she uses the word “funereal” to emphasize her hate for Helen, going so far as to call for death to descend upon her. Funereal referring to funerals, in which someone who has died is buried. While Helen escaped from all the death caused by the Trojan Horse, the speaker suggests that she deserved to die with all those who fell to Hades’ realm in protection of her, believing her beauty as unworthy of all the trouble she caused. Poe and H.D.’s depictions, while varied also use imagery in their expression of their individual opinions of…

    Baja California, Mexico

    • 2 Pages

    Baja California is one of the 31 states in Mexico. It is both the northernmost and westernmost state of Mexico. But before becoming a state in 1953, the area was known as the North Territory of Baja California. It has an area of 70,113 km2 (27,071 sq mi), or 3.57% of the land mass of Mexico and comprises the northern half of the Baja California peninsula. The state is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by Sonora, the U.S. State of Arizona, and the Gulf of California, and on the south by Baja California Sur. Its northern limit is the U.S. state of California. The state has a population of about 2,844,469, and an estimated 3,165,776 more than the sparsely populated Baja California Sur to the south, and similar to San Diego County, California on its north. Over 75% of the population lives in the capital city, Mexicali, or in Ensenada and Tijuana. Other important cities include San Felipe, Rosarito and Tecate. The population of the state is composed of Mestizos, mostly immigrants from other parts of Mexico, and, as with most northern Mexican states, a large population of Mexicans of European ancestry, and also a large minority group of East Asian, Middle Eastern and indigenous descent. Additionally, there is a large immigrant population from the United States due to its proximity to San Diego and the cheaper cost of living compared to San Diego. There is also a significant population from Central America. Many immigrants moved to Baja California for a better quality of life and the number of higher paying jobs in comparison to the rest of Mexico and Latin America. Baja California is the twelfth largest state by area in Mexico. Its geography ranges from beaches to forests and deserts. The backbone of the state is the Sierra de Baja California, where the Picacho del Diablo, the highest point of the peninsula, is located. This mountain range effectively divides the weather patterns in the state.…

    Words like “beauty,” “spirit,” “superiority,” and “self-dependent”, in the first eight lines, all show a tone of confidence. The words “ambitious” and “pre-eminence” set the flattering or reassuring tone. There is three changes in tone in the poem, from showing confidence, to a flattery type tone, and then to a reassuring tone. The first change in tone, from the confidential tone, is represented after, “…self-dependent, anything an ambitious civilization might produce…”. The shift from flattery to reassuring comes after, “You cannot make us think you a delightful happen-so.”, from there it continues the reassuring…
