Tone and Mood: Isurgent
The tone of my book Insurgent by Veronica Roth can be very tense and high-strung a lot because they are figuring out war strategies, how to survive. The tone can also be tense and high-strung when someone finds out that someone they trusted lied to them. Some examples to support this are " He had a gun," I say. He was about to shoot me. He was under the simulation." "You killed him," she says. Her words sound bigger than words usually do, like they expanded in her mouth before she spoke them. She looks at me as if she doesn't recognize me for a few seconds, then turns away," (Roth, 153). "Why should I tell you? You don't tell me about your plans" (Roth, 246). The mood of my book would be stressful because tensions are high between Tris and Four espeacially and everyone else trying to agree as to how certain things should be handled. Some examples of this is " Your're throwing yourself into danger for no reason again," he says. "Just like when you stormed up to fight the Erudite with only a...a pocket knife to protect yourself." (Roth, 247-248). "It's not brave, choosing the position you were in yesterday. It's beyond stupid-it's suicidal. Don't you have any regard for your own life?" "Of course I do!" I retort. "I was trying to do something useful!" (Roth, 211). A particular moment in my novel when a character was persuaded was when Beatrice talked to Marcus in the old Abnegation meeting place and persuaded her to go behind Four's back and help him. His tone helped to persuade her because he was being very manipulative and hitting her at one of her soft spots which is her mom. A quote to support this situation is " So if he's telling me the truth, and my mother really was willing to die for this information to become public...I would do just about anything to accomplish the goal she failed to achieve" (Roth, 416).
