Question

Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually I had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants

Whats the tone?And why?

Answer 1

I'd say it's a very reminiscing tone like watching season 4 and looking back at season 3 wondering what the weird comedy was about

Answer 2

I would define the tone as reflective. The narrator is dwelling on their former experiences as the writing takes the past tense. There is not a particular opinion on the events; it is very matter-of-fact.
