examine how the poet uses punctuation throughout to develop the poems composition
determine how the poet uses plot and characterization to create the poems meaning
analyze how the poet uses graphical and structural elements to convey a particular attitude

Tone in a poem is the attitude of the poet. Graphical and structural elements like line - breaks, stanzas, etc. can convey this attitude. Rhyme and meter mainly affect sound, punctuation affects composition, and plot/characterization are not the main ways to determine tone in a poem.

analyze how the poet uses graphical and structural elements to convey a particular attitude
