Tone

In Messenger, the tone of the novel is suspense, and interest. In the text it says, " ... the agony in his arms and hands.." (Lowry, chap 21). This shows the tone of suspense. It shows it because you don't know what will happen to Matty next. With him hurt there are multiple things that could happen, only one of them will be his fate. The next quote says, "... Did you see a young man with blue eyes? About your age? We call him Leader." (Lowry, chap 14). This quote shows the tone of interest. This is by having the author mention things about the characters that are still at Village. Also how the character's used their gifts t help save their communities. Over all, the tone of Messenger by Lois Lowry is suspense and interest.

This is Leader, or Jonas from The Giver!
