Answer:
Cynthia Rylant's short story "My Grandmother's Hair" is told in a serious, sad and nostalgic tone.
Explanation:
The tone of any story or narration is the emotion that the writer used to express his/ her feelings towards the scene or event. It helps create the atmosphere and mood of the whole story.
Cynthia Rylant's short one-page narration about her mother's hair is a melancholic, nostalgic account of when she used to play with her grandmother's hair. She remembers when she would "lift a lock of her soft, grey hair and make [my] little pink comb slide through it." She also recalls how they would talk about their shared interests, be it "cats, baking-powder biscuits, Sunday school class" etc. All these recollections suggest that she missed those moments, those childhood times when she was with her grandmother.
