In literature, the term tone refers to the writer's attitude or feelings about the subject matter as well as towards the audience. Such tone is created by authors through the use of literary elements, such as diction( defined as  word choice),  syntax ( or the grammatical arrangement of words), imagery ( referred to the vivid appeals to the senses); details (related with facts that are either  included or omitted) and figurative language (which refers to  the comparison with apparently unrelated things.  

In the particular segment.. “He was tall, gaunt, with a pale skin and sunken eyes the color of a kingfisher's wing, neither blue nor green...” details and figurative languages seem to be used by the author as literary elements to express his/her attitude towards Kenny, which could be categorized as indifferent

Yuliya22 [10]
Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it. 

"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following: <span>
   ♣ </span>He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. <span>(Personification) 
   ♣ </span><span>The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.</span><span>  (Personification) 
   ♣ </span>A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)
   ♣ <span>He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor) 
   ♣ H</span><span>e is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile) 
These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more.  But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case. </span>

How does the narrator feel about washing and tying her husband’s turbans?<br><br> Montreal 1962.
Radda [10]

Answer:

She felt proud and also felt closer to her own heritage and home.

Explanation:

<em>Montreal 1962</em> is a short story by Shauna Singh Baldwin, recollecting her first experience of being a Sardar's wife in a foreign land. She recounts how her husband was asked to remove his hair and turban to be employed.

The short story delves into how she, as a Sardar's wife, felt about her husband's predicament on being asked to be 'normal' like the Canadians and get rid of his natural identity- the turban and his hair and be clean-shaven. While her husband was out working, she took upon herself to wash and then work on even trying to tie a turban, like her husband and others must have done before her. And in the process, she began to understand the significance and even the cultural significance of the turban. She felt that it is what makes them “them”, declaring that she will not let their tradition and culture be taken away from them.

She came to the realization of the turban's significance in their lives and decides to stand by him no matter what happens. She will work for her hands and help him to tie his turban, and then she <em>"will have taught Canadians what it takes to wear a turban". </em>

<em></em>
