Tone Questionnaires

1. What is the author's attitude towards actions or events?

The author tends to give intense atmosphere when something is about to happens. But sometimes he just give intense feeling where nothing happens at all, it seems like he wants us to feel the same way Braille felt when he confront the warden.

2. Is the story humorous or tragic or frightening? Does the author want you to laugh or cry, to feel happy or sad, to experience anger or fear?

The author wants us to experience fear. The story itself is not horror or frightening, but the main character's choice to act in situations is really messed up and most of the people wouldn't make such a choice. It's pretty intense whether or not the main character will die, because there's one time his friend warned him that "If you do that, you'll surely get shot".

3. What is the author's attitude toward characters or the narrator? Does the author like or dislike, trust or mistrust the characters or the narrator?

The author usually put Braille in such a depressing situation. He's always in situations where he need to make a good choice or else he might die right there, and there's one time where he made a wrong choice too! I think that the author like this character because he survived in such an arrogant act that should have his head blown off but instead he survived everytime.
