Read the passage from "The Yellow Wallpaper.” John laughs at me. . . .

John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures.

John is a physician, and . . . perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster.

You see, he does not believe I am sick! . . . .

If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do?

How does the syntax of this passage help create the tone of the text?

Several short sentences in a row give the text a comical tone.

Fragmented sentences give the text a lighthearted tone.

Long, complex sentences give the text an authoritative tone.

Direct address and a question give the text a conversational tone.
