Question

What tone was was the author illustrating in Maria Isabel's prayer for Enrique - "God…grant me one wish. Get Mexican immigration authorities to catch Enrique and deport him back to Honduras. Send him back to me"

Answer 1

The excerpt has a pleading tone.

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, tone is a very important element in the transmission of the message and the meaning of a text. This is because the message is directly linked to the feeling that the text wishes to convey and the tone is the representation of the emotion or feeling that the author wishes to present during the reading of the text.

In the excerpt shown above, we can see that there is a pleading tone, since the narrator begs God to grant her wish that Enrique be deported and return to the place where she is.
