The names of things slowly following those things into oblivion. Colors. The names of birds. Things to eat. Finally the names of things one believed to be true. More fragile than he would have thought. How much was gone already? The sacred idiom shorn of its referents and so of its reality” (McCarthy 89). Explain the importance of the quotation. Beyond tone, what do the DIDtLS reveal about the characters, setting, etc.?

AGENDA
Investigating tone
DO: Analyze universal idea through tone and DIDLS.
HW: Quiz 2 on Thursday
Doomsday due Friday
LAST NIGHT’S READING
What shall we discuss?
INVESTIGATING TONE
Tone (author’s attitude) is our main concern this semester, and DIDLS is our trusty tool.
In order to analyze tone though, you need to know what he would have a tone about.
With your partners, look over the themes I shared with you, and ones you are tracking yourselves. Discuss the themes, and what universal idea (message) seems to be associated with it.
Don’t worry about DIDLS just yet.
ANALYZING TONE
Pick the theme that most interests you, and
find an instance of it in the reading so far.
This is where detailed annotations helps!
ANALYZING TONE
Based on your passage, determine what DIDLS is used, and what tone McCarthy has towards this theme.
Write this out as a claim statement in your journal.
Ex: In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, he uses determined details to convey a ruthless tone towards survival despite the odds to show that good people must endure to find meaning.
DISCUSS!
With your partner, discuss your analysis. Remember to:
Identify DIDLS
Explain how that DIDLS conveys tone
And what that means for the theme (ie what message is
McCarthy trying to send?)
FINDING THE BUNKER
Recap: What was life like for the man and the boy
before finding the bunker? (Between losing the cart and
finding the bunker)
FINDING THE BUNKER
Recap: What was life like for the man and the boy
before finding the bunker? (Between loosing the cart and
finding the bunker)
Reread pages 131-134 when the man and the boy find
the house. Have things changed yet?
FINDING THE BUNKER
What has finding the bunker done for the man and the
boy?
How is their life different?
What theme/universal idea is
at play here?
WRITTEN ANALYSIS
Based on your bunker discussion, you will write one paragraph analyzing McCarthy’s tone towards your universal theme. You will need to know:
The piece of evidence you will use, which shows
DIDLS
Tone
Universal idea (theme)
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
BELL WORK: WHAT WE REMEMBER
Reread the man and boy’s conversation at the end of
last night’s reading (pages 174-5).
Why does the boy say “But I wont remember it the
way you do” (McCarthy 175)?
What about the old man will be remembered?
Is this universal or particular?
