HIBISCUS by: Lilium Orientalis (Excerpt)
Clara accidentally bumped at the all man
while walking in the street to buy ornamental
plants. She apologized at the old man. The old
man did not say anything, he picked the three
sardines and was so sad with the two cracked
eggs. The old man hurriedly walked. Clara
felt so disappointed with her clumsiness. She
has also this feeling that she cannot explain.
She followed the old man.
The old man walked so fast so she tried to
run. The old man reached the small nipa hut
in a small village. There she saw his three
children waiting for him. The three children
were obviously severely wasted. His wife was
washing the clothes and busy organizing
things. It was obviously seen that the family is
struggling. The youngest child was sick. Clara
slowly knocked at the door and gave her one
thousand pesos to the old man. The old man
cried and was so thankful. Clara went home
with a tear in her eyes not because she cannot
buy anymore the plants that she wanted but
because she felt something that she cannot
explain.
Yes ma’am.

Exactly!
D. DISCUSSION

Our topic for today is Determining the Tone,

Mood, Technique and Purpose of the Author

o Lesson Proper

Let us now define Tone, Mood, Technique

and Purpose of the Author

Who wants to read the definition of Tone? TONE is the author's attitude towards the
Yes Abby? topic. It gives shape and life to the story.
 Through tone, the attitude and mood of a
literary work are created and presented.
Thank you, Abby!

Tone is the attitude or feeling conveyed by

the author through their writing. It sets the
overall mood of the piece and can be
conveyed through word choice, sentence
structure, and style.

Next please read Magel. MOOD is the atmosphere of the story. It helps
in creating an atmosphere in a literary work
by means of setting, theme, diction and tone.
It evokes various emotional responses in
readers, and thus ensures their emotional
attachment to the literary piece they read.

Thank you Magel! Mood is the emotional

atmosphere or feeling experienced by the
reader while engaging with the text. It's
influenced by the tone, setting, and events
depicted in the story.

Let’s now identify the Tone and Mood of the
excerpt from ‘The Road Not Taken by Robert
Frost’’ Romalyn please read.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere
ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a
wood, and I, I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference.

Thank you! Now what is the tone? Anyone?

Yes Angelo? Ma’am unhappy

Terrific!

Next what is the mood? Ronalyn? Gloomy ma’am

Marvelous! For now, let’s differentiate the

Tone and Mode.
The tone sets the mood, guiding readers
through emotions and atmosphere. It's the
author's voice, shaping how readers connect
with the story, characters, and themes,
influencing their feelings and overall
experience.

Modes in writing are how details are

conveyed—like narration, description,
exposition, or dialogue. Writers choose them
to engage readers, shaping how emotions and
actions are presented. It impacts pacing,
depth, and connections in the story, offering
readers diverse experiences.

Is it clear?
Let’s continue with the four basic styles in
writing or the techniques of the Author.
Please read Lian.
Yes ma’am
Expository- It is a subject-oriented style
which tells the readers about a specific subject
or topic and in the end the author leaves out
his own opinion about that topic.

Descriptive-It uses very detailed information.

This can involve detailed descriptions of the
characters, the setting and events.

Persuasive-The author tries to change the

 reader's mind on a certain topic or issue.
Writers present facts supporting their opinions
and try to convince the reader to join in their
beliefs.

Narrative-It tells a story. The writer

introduces different characters and a setting to
the readers.

Thank you! So, Technique is the specific

method or approach an author uses to convey
their message or evoke certain emotions in the
reader. This can include literary devices, such
as symbolism, imagery, foreshadowing, or
dialogue, among others.

Lastly the Purpose of the Author. Sairel
kindly read.
Persuade-The author writes to get you to do
something or believe what they are saying.
Examples: commercials, billboards,
advertisements, opinions, reviews and
political ads.

Inform-The author writes to give you

information about a topic. Examples:
documentaries, nonfiction, history, science,
news articles, recipes and biographies

Entertain- The author writes to tell you a story

that you will enjoy.
Examples: fiction, fantasy, mystery,
comics/jokes, adventure and romance

Purpose of the Author refers to the reason

behind why the author wrote the piece. It
could be to entertain, inform, persuade, evoke
emotions, criticize society or explore specific
themes or ideas. Let’s differentiate the
Technique and Purpose.

A writer's technique includes methods like

narrative structure, characterization, dialogue,
and literary devices. These shape the story,
affecting its flow and impact on readers.
They're the tools for creating vivid worlds,
developing characters, and making stories
engaging and memorable.

A writer's purpose is to share ideas, emotions,

and messages, aiming to entertain, inform, or
evoke emotions in readers. Through stories,
they explore themes, provoke thoughts, and
connect with audiences on multiple levels,
ultimately aiming to engage and resonate with
their readers.

Identify the purpose of the author and the

literary style that has been used in writing.
Please read Kathlyn.
Thank you, Kath, now what is the literary
style or technique that has been used in
writing? Yes Jenelyn?
Phenomenal! What is the purpose of the
Author? Christian?
We need to act now to save our community
garden. It's ten years in the making, with
enough organic vegetables to feed every
mouth in this neighbourhood. Hud & Co. has
no right to come into our town and pave a
parking lot over one of our most prominent
food sources. Come rally with me this Friday
night. Together, we will stand in their way
and protect our beloved town.
Persuasive ma’am

The purpose of the Author is to persuade

B. to entertain
C. to persuade
Letter C
Yes ma’am.
Tone is writer-centered while Mood is reader-
centered.
Technique is the methods or tools used by the
Authors while Purpose was the Authors
intention or goal.
None ma’am!
Recognizing and using different tone modes
is crucial adjusting tone ensures clarity,
avoids misunderstandings, and fosters better
relationships by resonating appropriately with
the situation or the people involved.
Different tones evoke distinct emotional
responses. Formal tones command respect,
casual tones create comfort, empathetic tones
evoke understanding, and confrontational
tones often lead to defensiveness or tension.
Formal tones in a professional setting uphold
professionalism and respect, while informal
tones foster camaraderie and a relaxed
atmosphere among colleagues. Striking a
balance between both is crucial for effective
communication.

II. Determine the tone, mood, purpose and technique of the author in the given excerpt below.
Better than a Chinese restaurant is the kitchen of a kababayan. When in a foreign city, a Pinoy
searches every busy sidewalk, theatre, restaurant for the well-remembered golden features of a
fellow-Pinoy. But make no mistake. It is only because he is in desperate need of Filipino meal
and, like a homing pigeon, he follows his nose to a Filipino kitchen that is well stocked with
bagoong, patis, garlic, balat ng lumpia, gabi leaves and misua.
When the Pinoy finally finds such a treasure -house, he will have every meal with his kababayan.
Forgotten are the bistros and the smart restaurant. The back of his hand to the Four Seasons and
the Tour d' Argent. Ah, the regular orgies of cooking and eating that ensue. He may never know
his host before. In Manila, if he saw him again, they would hardly exchange two words. But here
in this odd, barbarian land where people eat inedible things and have never heard of patis, they
are brothers forever.
The Filipino may denationalize himself but not his stomach. He may travel over the seven seas
and the five continents and the two hemispheres and lose the savour of home and forget his
identity and believe himself a citizen of the world. But he remains-the gastronomically, at least-
always a Filipino. For, if in no other way, the Filipino loves his country with his stomach.
