Question by Jessie: How is tone used in the poems The Lesson and Lament?
It’s my school question and this is how it goes exactly. In two or three paragraphs discuss how the poets, in The Lesson and Lament, have created and used tone to show what the speakers have learned about life as a result of their experiences with death.

The Lesson:
“Your father’s gone,” my bald headmaster said.
His shiny dome and brown tobacco jar
Splintered at once in tears. It wasn’t grief.
I cried for knowledge which was bitterer
Than any grief. For there and then I knew
That grief has uses – that a father dead
Could bind the bully’s fist a week or two;
And then I cried for shame, then for relief.
