MC... tone means emotional impact. When you read those what do you "FEEL"? sad, ironic, angry, regret, happy, silly, curious?
Here is a site on meter ( rhythm)
http://www.cummingsstudyguides.net/xmeter.html
To find the meter, read the first two lines out loud! Then read them again and pat your hand as you read outloud. If you still havent' established a meter, mark the accented syllables, you should be able to see a meter then.
MC, Check this site also.... very important.

OK, so what if I say that the tone of 'Legal Alien' is uncomfortable and complicated as she describes the harships being faced?
And for Harlem, can I just say that the tone seems calm as he compares the deffered dreams to unpleasant things? ..I really need help with this...
Thanks
