The tone begins as depressed but turns much more
upbeat when the sailor sees the crowds waiting for
the ship on the shore.
The tone begins as celebratory and stays that way
even after the sailor realizes the captain has died
because, despite his death, a great victory has been
won.
The tone begins as depressed and stays that way
throughout the poem, for the captain dies without
completing the journey.
The tone begins as celebratory, then changes to
shock and disbelief, and ends on a depressed note.

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
