Unit 3 Overview“There is no friend as loyal as a book.“~ Ernest Hemingway
Ernest “Papa” Hemingway said, “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” This worked for Hemingway since everything he wrote was gritty, visceral, and purposefully realistic. Hemingway set an unmistakable tone in his writing, and his realistic tenor influenced other famous authors such as J.D. Salinger and Ray Bradbury. Tone and imagery are two of the devices that paint the pictures in literature; they lend greatly to the attitudes of both the characters and the readers.
While authors use imagery to evoke emotion and persuade the readers, it also helps the reader view sceneries, feel emotions, and connect to actions. Tone is the manipulation of that imagery that provides a voice to the work. If the character is vividly and wildly angry, so is the reader. If the dog is depressed because he is lost and cannot get home, we are brought to tears. Tone and imagery provide the richness of sensation and description to every literary journey.
