1 answer

The girl would analyze the text by examining the author's choice of words, imagery, and the feelings conveyed through the characters' dialogue and actions to identify whether the tone is joyful, somber, ironic, or something else. Additionally, she might look for the overall mood created by the setting and the situations described in the story to further clarify the author's emotional intent.
