"We cried together on the street for a long time, just a little way down the road from her house. We cried some more when Hegbert opened the door and saw our faces, knowing immediately that their secret was out. We cried when we told my mother later that afternoon, and my mother held us both to her bosom and sobbed so loudly that both the maid and the cook wanted to call the doctor because they thought something had happened to my father."
- A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks
As Nicholas Sparks writes his tone of effusiveness can easily be portrayed by his anaphoric devices. Constantly, he would write "we cried," as an emphasis towards the unconstrained emotions. Furthermore, vocabularies such as, "cried, little, sobbed, anguish, and fear" encourages the gloomy background already, for earlier the mood had consisted of lies and deceit. For the choices of vocabulary, it had not been so greatly formal that Sparks had wanted to express in great detail. However he had directly wanted to get to the point, wanting to simply state what he had felt mattered. The choice matter therefore leaves Sparks to completely bring about a tone of effusiveness. Also, when Spark writes, "sobbed so loudly that both the maid and the cook wanted to call the doctor…" the sentence created was like a comparison to show the degree that they had "sobbed," for it had not been just a little amount but certainly to a large extent in order for the people to question so much about why they had cried.
