Tone Classification Test
Style and Tone
Tone Descriptors
Tone and Attitude
SAMPLE: The Odyssey, Homer
"I shall throw you on a black ship and send you to the mainland,
To King Echetos, destroyer of all mortal men,
Who will cut off your nostrils and ears with a sharp bronze sword;
He will tear off your private parts and give them to the dogs to eat raw."
SAMPLE ANSWER: THREATENING--In this excerpt, one of Homer's characters
makes dire threats against another. The key to classifying a tone as
"threatening" is the possibility or promise of negative action against the
subject. Our particular subject has achieved quite a severe set of
consequences for himself and thus more than merits the designation.
Through the Looking-Glass, Carrol
They stood so still that she quite forgot they were alive, and she
was just going round to see if "TWEEDLE" was written at the back of each
collar, when she was startled by a voice coming from the one marked "DUM."
"If you think we're wax-works," he said, "you ought to pay, you
know. Wax-works weren't made to be looked at for nothing."
A) pedantic B) whimsical
C) threatening D) sympathetic
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Kesey
She tells them right back in a loud, brassy voice that he's already plenty
damn clean, thank you.
"They showered me this morning at the courthouse and last night at
the jail. And I swear I believe they'd of washed my ears for me on the taxi
over if they coulda found the facilities. Hoo boy, seems like every time
they ship me someplace I gotta get scrubbed down before, after, and during
the operation--and get back away from me with that thermometer, Sam."
Tone Descriptor:
A) disappointed B) condescending
C) amused D) audacious
Multiple Choice#1 - For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway
"Afterwards we will be as one animal of the forest and be so close
that neither one can tell that one of us is one and not the other. Can you
not feel my heart be your heart?"
A) somber B) urgent
C) factual D) intimate
#2 - Kink, Davies
But I felt after the novelty had worn off the Americans didn't
really understand our music or our culture. Coming from a country where
having central heating was considered posh and a refrigerator a luxury,
Americans seemed to me to be strangely spoiled and 'old-fashioned.' They
seemed to be lost in the forties and fifties. I expected to find Americans
more forward and progressive but I was surprised to find many very set in
their ways, just like their English counterparts.
A) urgent B) disappointed
C) sardonic D) detached
#3 - "God is love," Bowring
God is love; his mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss he wakes and woe he lightens;
God is wisdom, God is love.
A) pedantic B) simpering
C) reverent D) detached
#4 -The Idiot, Dostoyevsky
"There were always children there, and I spent all my time with the
children, only with the children. They were the children of the village
where I lived, a whole gang of them, who went to the local school. I was
simply with them mostly, and I spent all my four years like that. I did not
want anything else."
A) amused B) reflective
C) reverent D) remorseful
#5 - Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Douglas Adams
Time passed.
Susan waited.
The more Susan waited, the more the doorbell didn't ring. Or the
phone. She looked at her watch. She felt that now was about the time that
she could legitimately begin to feel cross. She was cross already, of
course, but that had been in her own time, so to speak. They were well and
truly into his time now, and even allowing for traffic, mishaps, and
general vagueness and dilatoriness, it was now well over half an hour past
the time that he had insisted was the latest time they could possibly
afford to leave, so she'd better be ready.
A) apprehensive B) elegiac
C) disdainful D) threatening
#6 - Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
"I am not made," I cried energetically, "the sun and the heavens,
who have viewed my operations, can bear witness of my truth. I am the
assassin of those most innocent victims; they died by my machinations. A
thousand times would I have shed my own blood, drop by drop, to have saved
their lives; but I could not, my father, indeed I could not sacrifice the
whole human race."
A) ominous B) sardonic
C) elegiac D) remorseful
#7 - Dave Barry's Greatest Hits, Barry
You never found out why these men spend so much time shaking hands
[in beer commercials]. Maybe shaking hands is just their simple
straightforward burly masculine American patriotic way of saying to each
other: "Floyd, I am truly sorry I drank all that beer last night and went
to the bathroom in your glove compartment."
Tone Descriptor:
A) bantering B) sympathetic
C) intimate D) disdainful
#8 - The Way Things Work, David Macaulay
The kind of nuclear reaction that happens inside a nuclear reactor
is called nuclear fission. The fuel is uranium or plutonium, two very heavy
elements which have many protons and neutrons in their nuclei. Fission
starts when a fast-moving neutron strikes a nucleus. The nucleus cannot
take in the extra neutron, and the whole nucleus breaks apart into two
smaller nuclei.
Tone Descriptor:
A) provocative B) forlorn
C) detached D) pedantic
#9 - Cannery Row, Steinbeck
Henri the painter was not French and his name was not Henri. Henri
had so steeped himself in stories of the Left Bank in Paris that he lived
there although he had never been there. Feverishly he followed in
periodicals the Dadaist movements and schisms, the strangely feminine
jealousies and religiousness, the obscurantisms of the forming and breaking
schools. Regularly he revolted against outworn techniques and materials.
One season he threw out perspective. Another year he abandoned red, even
as the mother of purple. Finally he gave up paint entirely. It was not
known whether Henri was a good painter or not for he threw himself so
violently into movements that he had little time left for painting of any
kind.
Tone Descriptor:
A) reverent B) apprehensive
C) regretful D) amused
#10 - "Send in the Clowns," Sonheim
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines, No one is there.
Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.
A) ominous B) satiric
C) intimate D) regretful
#11- "Freedom," Ruskin
You will send your child, will you, into a room where the table is
loaded with sweet wine and fruit-some poisoned, some not?-you will say to
him, "Choose freely, my little child! It is so good for you to have freedom
of choice; it forms your character -your individuality! If you take the
wrong cup or the wrong berry, you will die before the day is over, but you
will have acquired the dignity of a Free child."
A) whimsical B) simpering
C) bantering D) sarcastic
#12 - Catcher in the Rye, Salinger
So all of a sudden, I sort of leaned over and said, "Would any of
you girls care to dance?" I didn't ask them crudely or anything. Very
suave, in fact. But God damn it, they thought that was a panic, too. They
started giggling some more. I'm not kidding, they were three real morons.
A) condescending B) persuasive
C) amused D) audacious

Hello Juniors,
This is Mr. Beatty, Testing Coordinator for Spruce Creek High School with a Testing update. On April 13th, 2021 we will be offering the SAT School Day (SD) for all Juniors that wish to participate. The SAT SD is a standard SAT and can be used for college admissions, scholarships, as well as a concordant score for the FSA ELA and the Algebra 1 EOC. This test will be available for brick and mortar, Volusia Live, and Volusia Online students. All students will be required to come on campus and test in person. Although this is a great opportunity it is a voluntary participation and students who do not feel comfortable testing may choose to not take it.
All students will need to sign up to be assigned a seat and testing room. All students are asked to “Register” by completing the survey X By entering your name onto this form, you are stating that you intend on testing here at Spruce Creek High School on 4/13. This will allow me to ensure that we have enough testing rooms available to ensure proper distancing. If the registration is not complete, then it will be assumed that you do not wish to participate and therefore testing materials may not be available for you on test day.
All students must abide by the testing rules and regulations set by the school and College Board.
Additionally, students can also meet Florida Grade 10 English Language Arts and Algebra 1 End-of-Course Assessment graduation requirements if concordant or comparative reading and math scores are used. More information related to statewide assessment graduation requirements is available at http://fldoe.org/academics.
For additional information, including practice tests and sample questions regarding this assessment, please refer to the SAT School Day Student Guide or visit the CollegeBoard website at http://collegeboard.org.

- Testing on a school day does not interfere with weekend work or family obligations.
- Students test in a familiar location with staff they know which may reduce stress associated with testing.
- Students who have been struggling academically are provided with another opportunity to demonstrate their college readiness to universities.
- Students who take the SAT can use College Board programs that support college access, including college application fee waivers and four free score sends.
