Overall Tone Of The Show Revenge

How did France show that negotiations in the Treaty of Versailles was really a desire for revenge?

I'm a little confused and need help to understand this for a test. I already have a little bit of understanding, but want to make sure I /fully/ understand. Thanks in advance.

What is the tone of Holden's narrative voice in Catcher in the Rye?

Much like the style, the tone of the novel is the tone of Holden Caulfield, since he's the one telling the story. We don't think we need to spin you a large defense for our use of adjectives such as "cynical" and "judgmental" – just pick a page. But it seems we have some explaining to do; how can the tone be both cynical and compassionate? Check out Holden's interaction with Sunny; his digression about her buying the green dress shows incredible compassion on his part. What depresses him is the thought that she is a young and nervous person – not unlike himself – who is stuck in a not-so-pleasant role in life.

The Catcher in the Rye is full of this sort of observant compassion, and its tone is in part defined by it. As for the humor, it's definitely there – like Holden's claim that if Ossenburger were to pray, it'd probably be for Jesus to "send him a few more stiffs."

Of course, "sad" doesn't need much of a defense either. Implicitly, Holden finds nearly everything to be depressing. For example, when he actually uses the word "depressing," he names the following: leaving a place without a proper good-bye, leaving a place with a proper good-bye, men in bathrobes, Vicks nose drops, Old Spencer's warnings, people who say "good luck," empty corridors in the dorm, getting ice skates as a present, getting presents in general, girls that travel to New York from Seattle to wear ugly hats and see the first show at Radio City Music Hall, hotel lobbies, people laughing on New York City streets late at night, prostitute's dresses, having money, not having money, inexpensive suitcases, money in general, nuns and their lack of swanky lunches, girls and their potential futures, being drunk, being told he doesn't like anything, sleeping in train stations (although, to be fair, this is objectively depressing), the fact that Mr. Antolini made a pass at him, the fact that Mr. Antolini might have not actually made a pass at him after all, vulgar wall graffiti, the fact that he couldn't take revenge on the person who wrote said graffiti even if given the opportunity, Phoebe or people like her saying the word "please," and the fact that he has told us any of this at all.

What are good ways to get revenge with an email address?

"Worth a try. I'd love someone to just get spammed so bad, they can't function for 2 days."-- Anon comment to Ben Sugs' answerWhether or not this is evil is debatable, however that you would want to accomplish this anonymously is undeniably cowardly. The only reasons I'm posting this non-answer anonymously, are: 1. Unfortunately I can't make an anonymous comment2. I fully believe anyone capable of wanting to do something like this in the first place is also fully capable of lashing out in a similar manner to someone who would publicly chastise such childish behavior. A word of caution: maybe your target is also a coward -- who knows. However there are some people who would not hesitate to punch someone straight in the mouth for ruining two days' worth of email productivity. So don't be such an extreme bozo; tone it down a bit!
