 “The Road Not Taken”
Robert Frost - 1874-1963

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
Students possible answer:
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!

difference between table one
(Tone) and table two (Mood)?

(6.2) How did you determine that the

poem is a narrative style?

(6.3) Why do you think that the

writers’ purpose in the literary
piece is to entertain?

7. Abstraction
In this lesson we will learn how to
determine the tone, mood, technique,
and purpose of the author in a text.
We will better understand the topic and
know its importance in literary
composition and comprehension.
We all knew that, unlike in the movie
or in a song, we cannot determine the
tone and mood in a text, through voice
or facial expression. Therefore, tone
and mood are being conveyed by the
author in emotion through words in a
literary piece.
Maybe some of you, might still be
confused how to determine the tone
and mood in literature; so let us dig
deeper.
  Tone is the attitude of the topic. It
gives shape and life in writing. You
can find out how the author feels
through his/her word choice and how
sentences are being put together.
Tone can be positive, negative or
neutral.
POSITIVE NEUTRAL NEGATIVE
 Joyful  Formal  angry

 Excited  Serious
 bitter
 harsh
 Cheerful  humble

Through the tone, it helps us understand

the meaning of the text.
 Mood is the feeling the reader gets in
reading the text. The mood is
developed through the setting and
the atmosphere of the writing. It
evokes various emotional responses
in readers and thus ensures their
emotional attachment to the literary
piece they read.
In identifying the mood in a literary
piece, you must assess yourself how
the piece affects you as a reader.

Taken” by Robert Frost.)

something
Examples: Examples: Examples:
 Billboard  News  fiction
 Political articles
 comics
ads  nonfiction

I hope through PIE, it will help you to

easily determine what the author means
about his/her writing.

In writing we have the four basic literary

styles or the techniques of the author.
 Technique is how the author creates
an intended feeling in the reader
through the use of locations, props or
costumes such as in the dark castle-
horror. Through this kind of
technique, readers will be
encouraged to use their imagination
to visualize situations.
 Expository writing style- which
tells the reader about a specific
subject or topic.

The focus is to tell the readers

about a specific subject or topic
and in the end, the author leaves
 out his own opinion about that
topic.
Examples:
 Textbooks
 Business/technical writing

 Descriptive writing style-

involved detailed descriptions
(Answers May Vary)
Focuses of the author is on
describing an event, a character or
a place in detail. Usually, the
description incorporates sensory
details.
Examples:
 Poetry
 Fictional novels/play

 Persuasive writing style-

(7.2) In the given passage, the

purpose of the author is to
persuade Therefore, the
literary style used in this
writing is persuasive.

8. Application
Let us now check your learning’s from the
discussion.
The class will be divided into three
groups. Each group will compose a
literary writing using the different types of
authors’ purpose in writing. Assigned topic
will be given through “Pick a Stick” in
which the teacher will write the types of
authors’ purpose at the back of each
sticks.
The teacher will give 15 minutes allotted
time for the activity.
Activity: “Literary Writing”
Group 1 – to inform
