00:01 - 00:02
good morning.
00:03 - 00:07
My AP students at today's video will be about tune.
00:08 - 00:12
It is extremely important for one simple reason, which is
00:14 - 00:19
you are going toe right about the rhetorical analysis they
00:19 - 00:24
say in your external exam, and you will be asked
00:24 - 00:30
to write about rhetorical devices that the writer you know,
00:30 - 00:35
uses and utilizes to convey his message Tone is extremely
00:36 - 00:37
important to select.
00:39 - 00:43
Uh, it is highly likely that it will be prominent
00:44 - 00:48
and Cindy and in the, you know, 600 to 800
00:48 - 00:52
words that exert that they was, you know, ask you
00:52 - 00:55
about we discussed with three appeals.
00:55 - 00:59
Previously on Tony is a major really device.
01:01 - 01:04
What I mean by the tone is not the dawn,
01:04 - 01:08
which is in spoken language, because it is really easily
01:09 - 01:10
identify it.
01:10 - 01:14
Why? Because you know people will look at your face,
01:14 - 01:18
your facial expression for body language so they can determine
01:19 - 01:23
the tone easily when I say stop it.
01:24 - 01:31
Which means I am irritated and infuriated so the you
01:31 - 01:34
know the audience, the listeners will know that I am
01:35 - 01:40
very annoyed, and what I mean by the tone that
01:41 - 01:48
we need to focus on is tune in writing So
01:49 - 01:50
what is tone?
01:51 - 01:54
Okay, so right.
01:54 - 01:56
This is not that.
01:57 - 02:01
That's really it's how you really right?
02:01 - 02:05
And it all depends on your purpose, your attitude.
02:06 - 02:09
Let's look at this now.
02:11 - 02:17
Tone is the attitude on author takes towards his subject
02:17 - 02:21
matter can taxes, reader and audience.
02:22 - 02:25
It's really very, very important.
02:27 - 02:32
And it is determined by the attitude off the writer
02:34 - 02:38
on his opinion, very important and, of course, most importantly,
02:39 - 02:40
his purpose.
02:40 - 02:41
What is he trying to convey?
02:43 - 02:47
Is he trying to win for is trying to persuade?
02:48 - 02:49
Is he trying to entertain?
02:50 - 02:56
So again, the tune varies from, you know, one author
02:57 - 03:01
to another off course, depending on the purpose.
03:04 - 03:09
Now you need to know their tone is not usually
03:10 - 03:11
explicitly stated.
03:12 - 03:16
So the writer, I will not tell you simply Okay,
03:16 - 03:17
my Tony sad.
03:18 - 03:20
No, there's not going to happen.
03:22 - 03:29
The tone must be inferred through clothes, including How do
03:29 - 03:30
we determine the dawn?
03:31 - 03:32
It's extremely important.
03:33 - 03:36
So we look at the author's addiction.
03:37 - 03:44
The authors were choice and again knowledge off the audience
03:44 - 03:44
on purpose.
03:45 - 03:49
So mainly when you read the 600 to 800 word
03:50 - 03:53
passage that you would have in your rhetorical analysis say
03:54 - 04:00
make sure that you really read carefully.
04:02 - 04:08
I know the connotation off the words, and not just
04:09 - 04:11
the literal meaning off the word.
04:12 - 04:19
So now the you know, sometimes we have words that
04:19 - 04:24
tell you Well, okay, The tone is really sorrowful, sad.
04:26 - 04:31
It's extremely important to use words that are not really
04:32 - 04:34
simple. I don't want you to use the word Sad
04:35 - 04:35
said is not wrong.
04:36 - 04:39
But you want to show the AP leader that you
04:39 - 04:43
know, really innovated and advanced words like sorrowful.
04:45 - 04:48
Okay, you don't want to say good, good.
04:48 - 04:53
Doesn't really describe tone you need, you know, you need
04:53 - 04:56
to really go beyond that.
04:57 - 04:58
And the AP.
04:58 - 05:01
There is an AP tone list that you are supposed
05:02 - 05:05
to be studying, okay, and it's by the way it's
05:06 - 05:07
found in the UC.
05:08 - 05:11
Is there on I'm going to give you, you know,
05:12 - 05:14
off these tone words.
05:18 - 05:20
How do I study tones?
05:21 - 05:30
It's extremely important to classify tones in terms off the
05:30 - 05:31
meanings that they carry.
05:32 - 05:36
The words mean now, for example, here we have words
05:37 - 05:42
that have negative tone words that have negative connotations.
05:43 - 05:46
Okay, and of course you have.
05:47 - 05:51
We have words that have two words that have positive.
05:52 - 05:56
And then we have somehow a neutral on.
05:56 - 06:01
You know, sometimes we have, you know, like comic words
06:02 - 06:03
that already toe irony.
06:04 - 06:08
So the way you know the words are classified the
06:09 - 06:13
way the words are classified is extremely helpful to you.
06:13 - 06:18
Please make sure that you use words that the A
06:18 - 06:20
P Leader is looking for.
06:21 - 06:22
They're looking for sarcastic.
06:24 - 06:27
They are talking for more than four that, you know,
06:28 - 06:28
you know, critical.
06:30 - 06:32
Serious, Earnest Frank.
06:34 - 06:43
Ah, you know the words that's you Deep understanding and
06:43 - 06:52
advanced, you know, level now you is a passage and
06:52 - 06:52
off course.
06:54 - 06:58
Ah, in tie a woman, this is for you just
06:59 - 07:02
to do Okay, I want you to read, You know,
07:02 - 07:08
I'm just toe identify the tone on golf course.
07:08 - 07:09
Look at the words that they ask about.
07:10 - 07:14
It's not something is, you know, accusatory is dispassionate on
07:15 - 07:16
nostalgic objective.
07:17 - 07:21
So these are the words, you know that they look
07:21 - 07:22
for Look at this.
07:23 - 07:24
Let's read it.
07:24 - 07:28
It's really interesting that man over there say's that women
07:29 - 07:36
need to be helped in tow carriages and lifted over
07:37 - 07:44
ditches and, of course, to have the best place everywhere.
07:46 - 07:51
Nobody ever helps me into carriages or mud puddles.
07:55 - 07:57
All gives me any best place.
07:59 - 08:01
So look at the tone here.
08:03 - 08:11
The woman is trying to put herself in a you
08:11 - 08:16
know, in a way that you know that you feel
08:17 - 08:18
someone is accusing her.
08:20 - 08:22
So you know, and she's responding.
08:24 - 08:29
So the tone here is accusatory, so you need to
08:29 - 08:31
really breathe between the line.
08:32 - 08:39
Please remember this piece of advice that we need to
08:39 - 08:41
make sure that we understand the tone.
08:42 - 08:45
Use advanced tone words from the list.
08:47 - 08:47
A realist.
08:49 - 08:54
And make sure that we explained the function off the
08:55 - 08:55
tone as well.
08:56 - 09:00
On Remember, tune something, you know, it doesn't have to
09:00 - 09:01
be the same throughout the passage.
09:03 - 09:06
There must sometimes might be a shift in tone, and
09:06 - 09:07
it's worth really commenting.
09:09 - 09:13
Remember, tone is and important.
09:15 - 09:19
The technical device that can be used in your rhetorical
09:22 - 09:26
analysis is a C study hard.
09:28 - 09:29
What is my doing here?
09:31 - 09:32
Commanding right?
09:34 - 09:34
