1. A tone in my book would be desperation. Becky is very desperate and wants to buy everything. An example of this is "'What do you need twenty quid for?' says Luke Brandon, from the front of the room.
'I.... my aunt,' I say defiantly. 'She's in hospital and I wanted to get her a present.'"
This shows how desperate Becky is that she would lie about her aunt in the hospital for her own scarf. A mood in my book is frustration. The readers get frustrated from Becky acting careless and selfish. During that quote I was very frustrated at how she was acting and other readers would be too.
2. "'She likes the fresh air,' says the woman thoughtfully. 'Walking in the countryside.'
'Perfect!' I say in relief. 'Why not try the travel section for a walking book?'"
This quote shows when Becky changed the lady's mind when she was trying to pick out a book that she didn't think the daughter would like. Becky's tone was caring, so it made the lady believe even more that it was the right choice for her daughter.
becky sounds like a really big liar thats also vain.
ReplyDeleteFrom the examples that you gave, I do agree that the author is trying to portray Becky as having a desperate tone.
