Strange. That mine had sat empty for years. (line 41-43)
 Suspensed: "I’d come up right behind Frank when, ting, his boot connected with
metal. He stooped, grabbed, and when he stood, his palm held more than we’d
hoped. A gold coin. Frank’s eyes nearly popped. ‘Where did that come from?’ I
whispered and reached out a finger to touch. Just then, voices sounded in the next
cavern over: ‘Zed, hold it higher.’ Two men stepped through a gap in the far wall."

 Alliteration: "The beast began to stamp forward, its hooves clashing on the stone

3. Note at least two literary tones from each texts and describe how the tone is created by the
author. Support your answer using evidence from the text.
 Fear
The fear tone is created through the use of descriptive language, such as when the
author describes the beast in the archway as "hideous" (line 13) and "monstrous" (line
8), with "sharp, curved teeth" (line 5) and " horns, glinting and sharp" (line 7). The
author also uses sensory details to convey fear, such as the sound of the beast's hooves
clashing on the stone floor and the boy's fear of being impaled on the horns.(line 16-17)
The fear tone is further emphasized by the protagonist's thoughts and actions, such as
his realization that he has dropped the ball of string, which symbolizes his loss of control
(line 19-20), and his desperate plea for help. For example, the boy says, "Get me out of
here!"(line 38) and "Please, somebody help me."(line 35)
 Disbelief
Is created by the author's use of contrasting language to reveal the truth behind the
game. The protagonist initially believes that the game is real and is shocked when he
discovers that it was only a sophisticated piece of software. The disbelief tone is evident
in the the boy's reaction, such as when he asks, "It really is just a game?"(line 61) and
when his father gives a superior smile and says, "That's all."(line 62-63)
