How do the und lined words affect the tone of the passage?
Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass.
"What is it you want to buy?" the Sheep said at last,
looking up for a moment from her knitting.
"I don't QUITE know yet," Alice said, very gently. "I
should like to look all round me first, if I might.”
"You may look in front of you, and on both sides, if you
like," said the Sheep: "but you can't look ALL round
you-unless you've got eyes at the back of your
head."
They create a critical tone.
They create a neutral tone.
They create a relaxed tone.
They create an humorous tone.
But these, as it happened, Alice had NOT got: so she
contented herself with turning round, looking at the
shelves as she came to them.
