Essay about Tone in Drama Script

Tone, in written composition, is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is generally conveyed through the choice of words, or the viewpoint of a writer on a particular subject. Every written piece comprises a central theme or subject matter. The manner in which a writer approaches this theme and subject is the tone. The tone can be formal, informal, serious, comic, sarcastic, sad, or cheerful, or it may be any other existing attitude. A tone can be either positive, negative or, neutral and is guven through context clues such as setting and word choice.

Tone, in a piece of literature, decides how the readers read a literary piece, and how they should feel while they are reading it. It stimulates the readers to read a piece of literature as a serious, comical, spectacular, or distressing manner. In addition, tone lends shape and life to a piece of literature because it creates a mood. Mood is how the writer wants the the reader to feel and is generated through the setting, dialog and plot. Mood can either be positive or negative and like tone can change through the writing.

Without any further do, let’s start from Amy. The writers made Amy with many negative tone in the story.

From page 1, line 4
“AMY, a fragile beaten down by the world woman in her late 20’s, sits behind a window with a sad expression.”
The words 'fragile' is the way from the author to convey about Amy's life was never tough. She has to face the world with her weakness.

From page 2, line 5
“My life's complicated.”
The words ‘complicated' is the chosen word from author to explain that Amy's life was miserable.

From page 2, line 10
“Amy slams the door shut.”
From this diction, the author try to show the other negative tone of Amy because there are mood of madness.
We moved to positive by this unpredictable woman.

 Page 4, line 15
“Well you can stay here until you remember.”
The author is explain about Amy's sympathy for George that have amnesia.

Let’s move to George's tone. In this script, George’s has the positive tone because from the dialog we know he always give support to Amy while she try to ended her life. Let’s find the diction.

From page 2, line 7
“Your eyes, have you been crying.”
This sentence show us the sympathetic of George to Amy. The author made George asking curiously what happened with her eyes.

From page 2, line 25
“George grabs Amy’s legs putting her feet on to his own shoulders.”
The author explain about George’s worries about Amy who already hang her body in the ceiling.

Now we move to the negative tone from George is about when George knocked the door of Amy's house with panic it shows condescending in negative tone words.

I think that’s all. If you see anything out of topic or anything you want to correct please let me know. I’ll improve it asap;)

https://www.simplyscripts.com/scripts/AMY.pdf

Hello there, welcome back. Today I want to share my essay about drama script entitled AMY by Eric Chandler. The story tells about the woman named Amy who was living alone with her terrible feeling that caused by her depression. You can read it first at the link above;)

In this script, I will show you about the author using implicit in his script. For your information, implicit is an adjective that describes some information that the person hints at but doesn't say directly. But also there is explicit, an adjective that describes information that is stated directly and clearly, without any questions about the meaning. Those types known as stylistic in literary works. Before we can say that the language is implicit we have to find the diction. More information, diction is the way we as a readers interprets the language when we act in drama play.

There are a lot of diction that shows implicit.

1. "Rain pours down on a house." In this diction the word 'rain' is tells about sadness and 'the house' is representative of the character itself that living in a loneliness.
2. "AMY, a fragile beaten down by the world woman in her late 20's..." In this diction the author tells the readers that the character Amy is like a fragile glass who has beaten down by the world or in another meaning Amy have delicate and broke able heart who defeated by overall in her life.
3. "Let me go." (Amy P.O.V) In this diction the author tells the readers that the character is give up of her life, she wants to end up her life;suicide. So 100% the character is not going to another palce.

In conclusion, this script of drama by Eric Chandler has some diction that easily interprets by the readers to know the diction is implicit or have more than one meaning but it stated indirectly.

Point of View and Theme in Just a Load of Baloney by Kirsten James

In Kirsten James's script "Just a Load of Baloney" describe the different taste of sexuality of Toby, a slim teenager with short dyed hair that had punched by a skinny guy, Jared, while he was on the grass. Throughout the story, the author uses the third person omniscient point of view to describe the boy's surroundings and to show us both what he and the other characters are thinking and what is happening around him.

By using the third person omniscient point of view, the narrator can give us a detailed and unbiased description of his surroundings while still retaining part of the character's view of reality. "He is faggot!" We are given Jared's view of Toby's sexual orientation. Additionally, the sentence "Hassan leaves in a hurry. Toby looks annoyed as he watches him walk away." We can tell what Toby's feeling.

Those underlined words demonstrate a fine use of the third-person point of view. "He" is show us the character was talking about Toby. "Hassan & Toby" Kirsten James presents two characters from the third person point of view.

The theme of the story is shown mainly through Toby's relationship with other characters. Such themes that are well developed include social issue and non-Traditional theme; physical "He opens the desk drawer and pulls out a bulky sandwich loaded with baloney.", social "Toby and Hassan look at each other. Toby smiles, grabs Hassan’s arm and they take off down the hall.", devine "Allah forbids homosexuality. If I accept you, I reject Allah.", egoism "Don’t you touch me!", and organic "Wow. This homo stuff even sucks for you and your not even gay!"
