The first thing that I tabbed was on page 275, when Stephen's wife suggests that they go to work. They had just been reading the sad letter from their son Absalom, so her suddenly asking if they should work is a change in tone. I feel that Stephen's wife says this because she wants to distract herself from thinking about how her son is gone.
The second thing that I tabbed was on page 277. On this page, the storm is being described. Words such as 'dark', 'threatening', and 'strike' are used to emphasize the greatness of the storm. There is also alliteration in the passage that describes that there were "no more shadows sailing over the fields, for all was shadow". This alliteration of the letter 's' makes a quick sound, explaining how the clouds were once moving quickly.
