Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momada

"Why are you following me? What do you want?" The man was afraid. The thing standing before him had the feet of a deer, and its body was covered with feathers. The man answered that Kiowas were hungry. "Take me with you," the voice said, "and I will give you whatever you want." From that day Tai-me has belonged to the Kiowas.

Once I went with my father and grandmother to see the Tai-me bundle. It was suspended by means of a strip of ticking from the fork of a small ceremonial tree. I made an offering of red cloth, and my grandmother prayed aloud.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is A) The first passage speaks to an instructional tone while the second presents a reflective tone.

Tone refers to an author's attitude towards their readership, audience, and character especially in a work of literature.

A reflective tone usually draws on the experience of the author. This is key in differentiating between this and other types of tone.
