J.E # 32 : Pre-search on Shakespeare’s Othello May 6, 2013 Small Group Cell Phone Research: In order for you to understand the subtleties of the play, you should understand something about the culture in which it was written and in which it was produced.

The topics should all originate from the time period of the play. Who were the Moors? Who were the Venetians? How were the Moors/Venetians regarded in Shakespeare’s day? What were the military duties of ranked officers? What was the military hierarchy? What was the role of women (brides)? What rules for getting married existed at the time of the play?

10. J.E # 31 : TONE 4/30/13 Tone is the expression of attitude. It is the writer’s (or narrator’s) implied attitude toward her subject and audience. The writer creates tone by selection (diction) and arrangement (syntax) of words, and by purposeful use of details and images. The reader perceives tone by examining these elements. Tone sets the relationship between reader and writer. As the emotion growing out of the material and connecting the material to the reader, tone is the hallmark of the writer’s personality.

11. J.E # 31 : TONE (cont’d) 4/30/13 Understanding tone is requisite to understanding meaning. Such understanding is the key to perceiving the author’s mood and making the connection between the author’s thought and its expression. Identifying and analyzing tone requires careful reading, sensitivity to diction and syntax, and understanding of detail selection and imagery. Tone is as varied as human experience; and as with human experience, familiarity and thought pave the way to understanding. 1. Identify the part of the above definition that is/could be most significant to your growth as a writer (author).
