Emperor

In When the Emperor Was Devine, the author should not be called or labeled a minimalist. The tone of the book flows with  the main point of the book. The type of the writing is has more of a poetic stance  to the writing by portaying the feelings of the actions written throughout the words. someone is tne class said that monotone is the tone that the story was told in. I feel that the tone of the book is somewhat set the style and mood of what is going to happen and what the events are in the book. One question i wanted to ask in class was about in the beginning of the book. If the notes all over town was a notice about them being sent away to camps and such as why does she still try to fix the house up and continue her motherly routine.
