Blog 4: Boost by Kathy Mackel

                                           September 30, 2010

Describe the author's tone of voice and how the setting contributes to the tone.

The setting of my IRB, Boost by Kathy Mackel, contributes to the author's tone. The author's tone is very monotone. The main character, Savvy, and her family moved in with her Aunt Betty at her farm in a small town in Rhode Island. Nothing very exciting ever happenes there, or atleast in the eyes of Savvy and her sister Callie. In their former home in New Mexico, they were used to luxury and attention. Everything was always exciting for basketball star Savvy and cheerleader master Callie. So since life is very predictable in Rhode Island, just like Savvy's game, the author wrote very moderate and monotone.
