Tone:the californian's tale
1. The author in this story is Mark Twain. His attitude toward Henry'a action is so warm and full of his love that he has for Henry. The author try us to see Henry as a good kind, and honestly person, that he love his wife so much, he waiting for his wife every years, even he have a problem about he unstable emotion. But when I read I can feel love that Henry had for his wife, even he's sick, but he use his heart to love her. And I think that author wants us to feel that way.
2. The story is so tragic, it's almost make me cry. When I know that his wife had been died for many years ago, and Henry has a unstable emotion that he can't accept the truth about his wife. Author wants us me to cry, to feel sad, that even though how much Henry love his wife, Henry and his wife cannot be together. The author shows that when you love someone, even he/she is not with you anymore, you still love them. The author also wants me to experience fear, because we don't know how the story will ends.
3.The author's attitude toward characters is that how Henry can represent his feeling and emotion that the author want us to feel. The author like and trust the character in the story that they can make the reader feels the emotion of the author. And how the character make the reader want to follow the story step by step and enjoy with the story until the end of the story.

Imagery: The Californian's Tale
1. The
scene that stand out in my reading is when the people in town be unite together
to help to make party for Henry. It’s show that everyone in this town are get
along together.
2. The
scene that make me frightened is when I knew that Henry’s wife has been died
nineteen years already. The moment when I’m angry is the moment when everyone
is try to cover the truth about Henry’s wife, because if they continue do this
Henry will never can accept the truth.
3. The
moment when his friends made a party for Henry, and he’s drunk, then he
slept. I can smell the alcohol, I also
can feel when the poor people drunk together. The author want us to feel how
the people in the small town live, how they are live different from us.
4. I can
understand the whole story, and it’s really fun for me. I’m pretty frightened
with the rising action when I knew that Henry’s wife has been died for nineteen
years, and Henry has a unstable mind.
This story is also different from other stories because almost every stories will
have a happy ending, but this story has ended very sad. I think that I will
never forget this story.

Point of View: The californian's Tale
1. Point of view use 1st person point of view. The narrator is the one who is the guest of the Henry.
2. The advantage of the first person perspective is that the author allow us to see what's going on in the story. And first person perspective can describe more about the feeling of the characters. It's can also tell us the story more fun.
3. The narrator is reliable. But the narrator has limited of knowledge and understanding of characters and events in the story, because he didn't know that Henry's Wife had been died for many years already and he believed Henry that Henry is waiting for wife, Henry just knew after Henry's friends told him. The narrator doesn't know everything about one character, if he could understand, he wouldn't believe Henry at the first time.
4. The author use the point of view to conceal the truth. The author just show the truth in the end of the story. He's unfairly withhold important information about the main character 'Henry'. The author just show the truth almost in the end of the story that Henry has the problem about the unstable emotional.
