In poems, “Family Secrets”, and “The Whipping”, the tone is very unsettling. Both of these poems have a really deep story. The tone shows so much emotion that it almost makes one uncomfortable or feel pity. An example of this “I mean, she found me, sure, but who’s the one that told me go and play out in that goddamned field in the first place?” (Ceci, 6-8) The author does this to show the reader that this “boy” does not believe what others do about his sister, he is releasing something about her…

A story, a novel, a writing, a poem- all many different ways that authors compose their thoughts into writing. While may keep private self thinking journals others write to be heard.

First and foremost, the most interesting part about Wheatley’s poem is how she sets up her…
