Tone

1.       What is the author’s attitude towards actions or events?

I think the author wants the reader to learn from Gillian, many things about Gillian could be learn like for example how bad he used to live before he get the thousand dollars and his life after he have the thousand dollars and how he spend it.

2.       Is the story humorous or tragic or frightening? Does the author want you to laugh or cry, to feel happy or sad, and to experience anger or fear?

For me the story is quite tragic and the author maybe wants us to get the experience of the people in the story not that to make us happy or sad but he really wants us to learn from Gillian mistakes.

3.       What is the author’s attitude toward characters or the narrator? Does the author like or dislike, trust or mistrust the characters or the narrator.

The attitude of the narrator to the character I think it would be pity, the author did not really dislike the characters but I think he wouldn’t trust what the characters think, but for the narrator I think is the opposite.
