Filipinos are known for being sentimental. This trademark can

be observed usually in their celebrations. For instance, in
celebrating weddings,
one can notice that Filipinos are very cautious with every
detail. While it’s good that they are very hands on and careful
at the things they do during weddings,
they too have the tendency to overdo things. Filipinos too are
usually in the game of outdoing each, an attitude that often
results to pressure and overspending in attempt to make the
wedding celebrations better that the others.

Positive Message Negative Message

B. Development POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE MESSAGES

Writers have their own unique style in expressing their
messages. Their choice of words mainly creates the atmosphere,
mood, and emotions depending on the occasion.
For instance, for fictional texts, authors carefully weave words
in order to give shape to the story and provide the voice for
characters. It is what creates the personality of the selection.
For non-fictional texts, on the other hand, a writer chooses
words that would express his/her attitude toward a subject. It tells the
reader how they should read the text — funny, serious, angry,
friendly, etc.
In both cases, the audience perceives the message as negative or
positive depending on the tone and word choice.

Tone
Tone refers to the emotion or attitude that that the writer embeds
in writing. It gives more context beyond the words used. So, how
does it work? You see the words on the page, interpret their
meaning, and add a layer of emotional context. These create the
concept of a message as to being positive or negative.
Writers use tone words to establish a message. These are words
that make the author’s opinion on the subject matter known. They
make the tone either positive or negative

The Land of Nod
by Robert Louis Stevenson

From breakfast on through all the day

At home among my friends I stay,
But every night I go abroad
Afar into the land of Nod.

All by myself I have to go,

 With none to tell me what to do--
All alone beside the streams
And up the mountain-sides of dreams.

The strangest things are there for me,

Both things to eat and things to see,
And many frightening sights abroad
Till morning in the land of Nod.

Try as I like to find the way,

I never can get back by day,
Nor can remember plain and clear
The curious music that I hear.
