Response #2-

In the story "The Day I Got Lost" By Isaac Bashevis Singer the tone is very sad because he is so forgetful and he forgets so many little things like in the story when he says" I lose hats, books, umbrellas, rubbers, and above all manuscripts" but, then one time he forgot his address and that resulted in a big conflict. The point of view is first person we know this because Professor Shlemiel is the one talking in the story he is the one telling us what is happening in this story about himself. These things make the reader feel bad for Professor Shlemiel and make them want to help him.

 

In the story "The Dark Brown Dog" By Stephen Crane the tone is very depressing because the poor dog gets beaten by the kid but then the kids starts to like the dog but then the dad kills the dog and the little boy is so sad as it says in the story" On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog, proclaiming with childish gestures that he held him in contempt as an unimportant dog, with no value save for a moment". The point of view in this story is 3rd person because they have a narrator talking about what happened. All of these things made the reader really sad and a little mad and they wanted to help the poor dog.

 

In these story's both of them made the reader kind of sad or depressed. They used tone and point of view to do that by telling us things that  would make us feel that way about a character or about the story. Both the authors did a good job of making us feel a way after reading each of their story's.
