Ursula LeGuin Video

With the Ursula Leguin video I feel that hearing the authors voice can give the audience a better understanding of the tone in a story. Ursula Leguin in her video reads from her new book "Lavina". She reads it with so much passion, to the point where the audience can understand the mood of her new book. In the video Ursula Leguin is reading in a slow mysterious way, sometimes taking long pauses when new things are unveiling in the story, like when she reveals that a someone the main character known had died. The way Leguin is reading in her video feels like the tone of her new book "Lavina", is a gloomy and ominous tone.

  1. Tone is especially important with LeGuin's work. What connection can you make between her new work and the one in the text?
