High Performance Response(s)
A High Performance Response should:
Determine the tone of the text (e.g., humorous; sad).
Analyze how specific details impact the tone of the text (e.g., The author establishes Claudette’s sad tone through her description of the ball. Claudette describes how the nuns treat Mirabella like an animal. She explains how Mirabella is alone in a dark corner, “wearing a muzzle” (p. 242) with bows tied to it, dressed in “party culottes … duct-taped to her knees” (p. 242). Claudette also recalls her own painful emotions when she says, “I felt hot, oily tears squeezing out of the red corners of my eyes” (p. 243) to describe how she felt when she talked with Kyle. In this way, Claudette establishes a sad tone about the way girls are forced to adopt a new culture and experience fear and discomfort at St. Lucy’s).
