Identifying the Tone of the Passage

Hard Author's Purpose And Tone Author's Tone

In the passage below, the author reflects on the nature of human creativity and its relationship with technology. As you read, consider the author's tone and how it contributes to their point of view.

“In an age where machines perform tasks once reserved for the human mind, creativity becomes a sacred enclave, a refuge from the sterile efficiency of artificial intelligence. One might argue that as we lean more on technology, our original thoughts become increasingly rare, yet it is precisely this rarity that should be celebrated. It is within the messy imperfections of human thought that true innovation takes root. The brush strokes of a painter, the tender words of a poet, and the chaotic strumming of a musician's guitar remind us that creativity flourishes in unpredictability. As we navigate this digital labyrinth, let us not forget that our imagination is a realm where no algorithm can tread.”
