In your 200-wordpaper, you must explain how the artwork ties into the book you choose and where in the story this artwork would appearif this book were made into a movie.

Tone Assignment: Soundtrack

For this assignment you will need your tone words sheet. Think about the work you are reading. What is the author’s tone? Does it change or shift? Does it deepen? Next, find two pieces of music that embody the tones you selected. You may decide that it is the lyrics or the music that embodies the tone or both. Your job is to select two songs that lend deeper meaning to the work and explain why you chose those songs. The idea is to choose a song that embodies the tone. Do not choose a song merely because the book title is in the song title. You must use your tone words to analyze the work. (300 words)
