Describe the author's tone in your IRB and how the setting contribute's to that tone.
The setting affects the author's tone in the book Speak. Laurie Halse Anderson has a depressing tone throughout the story of the young 9th grader Melinda Sordino. She shows how bad everything is getting for Melinda how she is neglected at home, abused at school,friendless,and encountered again by Andy Evans in the janitor's closet, because she warned Rachel about what he did to her and might try and attempt to do it to Rachel. The setting contributes to this alot by her continuing to hid in her room closets and the janitor's closet. My conclusion about the tone of the author is sorrowful and pitiful.
