Read this note, written by a student to the principal: Dear Mrs. Bowen.

Is it possible to meet to discuss your recent decision? I would like to talk about other alternatives to wearing uniforms. I have several great ideas. Thank you.

What is the tone of the note?
Why is the tone appropriate for the audience?

Read the excerpt from "a pair of silk stockings." but she went on feeling the soft, sheeny luxurious things—with both hands now, holding them up to see them glisten, and to feel them glide serpent-like through her fingers. which best describes the underlying tone of the excerpt created by the connotations of the words “soft,” ”luxurious,” “glisten,” and “serpent-like”? 1. gloom 2. temptation 3. forgiveness 4. suspicion
