If somebody kidnaps Rick's laptop. Rick's going to risk himself to save that laptop. It is a indispensable thing that Rick can never leave it alone, it is the essence of him...

Definition of Mood & Tone

M0od: Mood is what you feel about the story.
T0ne: Tone is the opinion (emotion), (feeling) by the author thorough the text, towards an object or subject.

For example, 'Arrogant', 'Loving', 'Disapproving', 'Regretful', 'Uncertain', 'Indecisive'.

The author can express these kinds of words naturally by writing the story...

Tone is harder...than....the....Mood.... :-)

Guess the Mood

Have you ever been to China? Well, if you haven't been there, you must go there...I once lived in Beijing for 4 years, I tried many different types of food and some of them were very...IMPRESSIVE... I loved especially the Snake Skewer. When you eat this snake skewer with hot Chinese traditional sauce, it will taste like eating a steak that has been in the trash can for 4 weeks. I also love the sound of chewing snake's skin inside of my mouth. It sounds like chewing gum. Also, there are scorpion skewer, monkey head skewer, cockroach skewer...I loved the cockroach skewer because, you can taste the juicy stuff coming out of the cockroach's body. YUMMY!! I love it!!!!!

Warm Up

Think of a song that has lyrics related to wealth and/or happiness. Add the lyrics to your blog. Describe what you believe the composer thinks about wealth and/or happiness.

- "Celebrity" composed by Brad Paisley. The lyrics are about one man dreaming to be a celebrity.
"Someday I'm gonna be famous
Do I have talent well no
These days you don’t really need it
Thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel
Can’t wait to sue my dad
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari
On my way to Rehab

Cause when you’re a celebrity
It’s adios reality
You can act just like a fool
And people think you’re cool
Just cause your on T.V.
I can throw a major fit
When my latte isn't just how I like it
They say I've gone insane
I'll blame it on the fame
And the pressures that go with....
Being a Celebrity


[Break]


I'll get to cry to Barbara Walters
When things don't go my way
I'll get community service
No matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids
They’ll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down
The more my price goes up!

Cause when you’re a celebrity
It’s adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you’re cool
Just cause your on T.V.
I can fall in and out of love
Have marriages that barely last a month
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on the fame
And say it's just so tough...
Being a Celebrity

So let’s hitch up the wagons
And head out West
To the land of fun in the sun
We’ll be a real world bachelor
Jackass Millionaires hey hey Hollywood
Here we come!

Yeah when you're a Celebrity
It’s adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you’re cool
Just cause your on T.V.
Being a Celebrity...
Yeah Celebrity!"

The composer Bran Paisley is describing how cool or how awesome would it be when you are celebrity. The lyrics contain some bad words but most teenage songs contain words that are inappropriate. However, the main idea of this lyrics is being a celebrity and what are some cool things that I can do it when I'm celebrity. I think composer is thinking that having wealthiness will be so cool and full of excitement. In my general opinion, having full of excitement will have some bad consequences too...
