Whimsical Tone by Colin Boyette https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy by Colin Boyette and Philip Berger en-us 2018-03-01 13:47:38 UTC 2018-03-01 15:07:06 UTC hello@padlet.com "In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars." colin_boyettes11 https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236895193 The author uses whimsical imagery here to create a serene illustration of a garden. Fitzgerald also uses simile to compare people to moths, adding to the imagery.

Scott Fitzgerald creates this image of the crimson room to establish a whimsical tone because he uses the word bloomed rather than filled or any other nondescript verb.

The white symbolizes Daisy’s purity, innocence, and youth.]]> 2018-03-01 13:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236896872 Golden Girl colin_boyettes11 https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236902401 2018-03-01 14:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236902401 Moonlight colin_boyettes11 https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236902768 2018-03-01 14:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236902768 White palace colin_boyettes11 https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236909614 2018-03-01 14:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236909614 Imagery (trope) colin_boyettes11 https://padlet.com/colin_boyettes11/tw6fcscyc8yy/wish/236912285 "On the white steps an obscene word, scrawled by some boy with a piece of brick, stood out clearly in the moonlight, and I erased it."

Imagery can create a whimsical tone by painting dreamlike settings.

“And you found he was an Oxford man,” said Jordan helpfully.
“An Oxford man!” He was incredulous. “Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit.”
“Nevertheless he’s an Oxford man.”
“Oxford, New Mexico,” snorted Tom contemptuously, “or something like that.”

Synecdoche makes the text seem more colloquial which, in turn, creates a more whimsical tone.

Eckleburg. The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic.”

The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg create a godlike presence which helps to create a whimsical tone.

Antithesis used in this excerpt creates a fanciful tone, which adds to the whimsical nature of the rest of the book.
