For "A Very Short Story" written by Ernest Hemingway there was a clear cynical tone. I felt that the story itself is very sad and has an aspect of hopelessness. Hemingway uses careful diction and tone in his narrative in order to convey the short story's message.

"Fog," poem written by Carl Sandburg is very analytic yet nonchalant. Sandburg uses diction and enjambment in his poem to create a type of fog-like effect within the text when the reader reads the poem. Also, there is personification when Sandburg says that the "fog comes on little cat feet" (line 1).
