 Dante created this tone by his action of fainting from the sad story of Paolo and Fransesca's relationship.

1.  They really love each other (Francesca and Paolo)
2. Dante faints from the shock and sadness from the story
3. A lot of people don't deserved to be in this circle, or have this bad of a punishment

 "To kiss the smile he so desired" this is Assonance because the use of i in the words smile and desire, it is repetition of the sound.

26 Inferno

 The tone of the passage is despairing.

 He created this tone through his descriptive words meaning his diction mostly , because the way he decided to express things was strongly deep. An example is, "Here, deciding who will be sent..."(26 Inferno). This phrase is an example how he clearly shows his passionate feelings on the subject. It is very despairing in the way he stated this with the word "deciding" especially with the dot, dot, dot. Also the, "tortured souls" gives some tone through the descriptive word before souls showing how the scene is for these souls. They are in a very despairing situation.

1.  "Whose name is Minos. Horrible to see" This phrase can be looked deeper upon through the sentence because of the structure of the words. The order gives strong meaning to what hell is really like. The pause shows and strengthens the idea of how "horrible" it is to witness. 
2.  "that way the crimes they hoped he might forget" It is pretty much saying there is a dead hope in their futures. The tone is depressing because they know that  Minos will not forget or forgive for their sins. The sentence order also coveys the feeling that their crime will never be forgotten.
3. "That brought them to this pass so none escapes, as all yell their complaints at that brute fact" You can infer a reference to the Odyssey as these souls being in between a 'rock and a hard place' from the part of the story with Scylla. There is a tone of hopelessness, because there is a pass that has not escapes. These souls are stuck forever. Their screams are their pain to hope for a better future, but truth be there is no other future for them.

 "They watch his living bull-whip do its sums Always for others, not for them" This phrase seems to contradict itself because all these people will all be judged yet they say that it is always for others. But those people who they are watching getting judged by Minos are watching those who have not been judged and are thinking they are the others. There is souls on both sides who may both wish to be the other or don't want to be either.

 The tone is hopeless and grim.

 Dante created these tones by his diction, witch created the hopeless and grim void in Dante's passage. 

1.  In Dante's Inferno, it says, "And went down as if going down to stay." This is expressing the effect of the environment had on him and the fact that the hopeless love sick environment transformed onto him.  
2.  When Dante talks to the to the unfairly placed lover by saying, "For Love can will will's loss." This develops that it hurts him and his belief in the goodness of the religion ruling hell, and the fact that the lust that comes with love can lead to an eternal suffering. 
3. When Dante wept for the suffering in "The other wept as if forgetting how/ To stop." This is developing Dante's thoughts of those who did not deserve and he proves the fact of his sorrow is taking over his mind and taking away his once pure view.

Page 29 and 30 when they are talking about love.

 This passage is very sorrowful and mournful.

 He expresses this tone through word choice, he makes the character seem

 Zack Prokopyschyn, James Drye

"like winter Starlings by their wings in flight- Across the bleak sky in a broad, thick flock: Here, there, now up, now down, the winds dictate Their track. Small hope of pausing to take stock," (James Canto Five 30) 

 This passage had a comparing tone 

 This tone was created as the author used similes and metaphors to describe the punishment of the people.

1.  the people have no control of where they are going 
2. Flock- there are many people there and are very close together 
3. They can't access whats going on and are oblivious as they never stop getting blown around.

 Imagery- the author uses descriptive similes that can appeal to the sense of imagination.

 Depressing, and mournful

 He created this tone through his word choice when describing the circle of hell.

1.  The description of everything as dark makes it sad and dreary because when we think of darkness we think of sadness.
2. When Dante says "Now we are descending into a sightless well" it emphasizes the lack of light and hope and happiness in Hell.
3.  Dante's diction is mostly depressing. He uses lots of large words that are mostly used to exaggerate how terrible Hell was.

 Hopeless

 Dante created this tone through his word choice of, "has even one ever gotten out." This word choice establishes the hopeless tone because saying even one shows that he droughts anyones escape.

1.  "Greater in its sad cries." I understand by this quote that the hell Dante depicts must be brutal and horrible.
2.  I also understand that the darker the levels get the more depressing things get going down deeper into hell. We can tell that Dante dosent agree with the depiction.

 By using the technique of repetition Dante depicts hell as a similar event when compared to when you travel deeper. The farther you venture down in hell, the more the tone of how Dante speaks is altered. Dante in limbo is generally confused but as he ventures further the tone becomes more dolorous.

 The tone of this passage is sad, curious, and serious.

1.  The master is very powerful and wants them to know that he's in control by sencing their emotions..
2.  There are men, women and children in circle one.
3. Circl one ws full of crys and sadness because no one wanted to be there.

 Clive James used hyperbole in the line "My master saw into my mind." this is hyperbole because he couldn't literally ee into his mind he can only read his body language.

 Tyra Smith and Ellie Tam

"One spoke as if she might be glad, the other wept as if forgetting how to stop. And I? I fainted dead away, and went down as if going down to stay" (James line #168). 

The tone of this passage is harsh and morbid. 

1.  The word choice used to describe the second circle of hell is depressing and dark, which conveys a morbid tone.
2.  The women that tells her story of why she is in the second circle of hell helps the reader better understand/ gives the reader a better insight of why Dante believes that it is not fair for them to be in hell.
3. The punishment was a metaphor for how the lust/love wasn't controllable.

 In this passage, the repetition of the word "down" uses repetition to convey that they are already in a negative place, but it is only going to get worse from there.

 Benji Montoya, James Clark

Clive james page 26, lines 1-25

 the tone of this passage is very depressing and sad, for it is expressing the hopelessness of the people who are entering hell, as they realize they will not be able to leave, but only go deeper into hell's depths.

 Dante created this tone through the ideas in his mind of what might happen to him if he did happen to go to hell. Like us, we all have an interpretation of what hell is like, Dante's however, is more thought out than other peoples perception of hell.

1.  In  the first part of Canto 5,  the passage shows us details of Dante's thoughts on hell. For he is scared, and as he progresses to circle 2, he begins to weep and cry, and actually ends up fainting. 
2.  On Dante's trip down the layers of hell, he realizes to start talking to fellow people around him. As he gets to know his surrounding and understand the reality of how horrible hell is, he pleads to God for forgiveness.
3. Dante takes the time to ask himself why is he here, for he does not know what he did wrong. This is significant because he does not think he did anything wrong, and does not understand why he would be punished.

 Imagery is used in the passage as he shows us through words his perspective of hell.
