4. Voice Lesson: Tone #3

5. Read and think:
The Navy guy and I told each other we were glad to’ve met each other. Which always kills me. I’m always saying “Glad to’ve met you” to somebody I’m not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though. -- J.D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye 1. What is the narrator’s attitude toward people in general? How do you know? List examples of the following elements of voice that help you identify the narrator’s attitude: 2. How would the tone of the passage change if Salinger had written it like this? John and I told each other we were glad to’ve met each other. I’m not sure I really meant it. I’m always saying, “Glad to’ve met you” to somebody I’m not sure I’m glad I met.

6. Responses
The narrator’s attitude toward people in general is disparaging and hypercritical. The elements of voice in the chart explain how you know:
Diction
Navy guy – He doesn’t use his name but dismisses him as if he could be any person in the Navy.
Stuff – again he uses a general word to dismiss its importance and to show the reader he doesn’t care about social ‘rules’ – being nice because it’s appropriate
Syntax:
Use of sentence fragment – “which always kills me” The fragment is used to emphasize the narrator’s contempt.
Use of italics – all is italicized for emphasis and to capture the stress (accent) of conversational English
Hyperbole:
always kills me – Using the exaggeration in the service of truth – It is for emphasis and means these social interactions DO always irritate him.
if you want to stay alive – exaggeration serves the same purpose: emphasis of the underlying truth
2. The tone is much less negative in the rewrite. It becomes more doubtful and questioning than disparaging and hypercritical.

7. Passage #3 – Annotate the passage like we’ve been doing
Passage #3 – Annotate the passage like we’ve been doing. Circle words you don’t know. Try to determine meaning with context. Underline and note lines/parts that strike you as important.
What I ask of you is reasonable and moderate; I demand a creature of another sex, but as hideous as myself; the gratification is small, but it is all that I can receive, and it shall content me. It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another. Our lives will not be happy, but they will be harmless and free from the misery I now feel. Oh! My creator, make me happy; let me feel gratitude towards you for one benefit! Let me see that I excite the sympathy of some existing thing; do not deny me my request!“
