Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "That Spot" by Jack London?I don’t think much of Stephen Mackaye any more, though I used to swear by him. I know that in those days I loved him more than my own brother. If ever I meet Stephen Mackaye again, I shall not be responsible for my actions. It passes beyond me that a man with whom I shared food and blanket, and with whom I mushed over the Chilcoot Trail, should turn out the way he did. I always sized Steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. I shall never trust my judgment in men again. Why, I nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the Stewart; and he saved my life on the Little Salmon. And now, after the years we were together, all I can say of Stephen Mackaye is that he is the meanest man I ever knew.

Explain what elements prevented the use of the commonplace from simply resulting in poetry that is dull and boring.

Answers

There were/are many elements that prevented the use of 'commonplace' from simply resulting in poetry that was/is dull and boring. The majority of commonplace writing consisted of  poets picking common objects yes, but using them in a way that everyone could relate to these objects. They took the ordinary and made something out of it. The purpose really was to illustrate  that even in the most common things we can find creativity. This concept is what is called defamiliarization or ostranenie.

Hope I helped! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation just let me know!! :) 

Commonplace is something that everybody knows and do in the same way. That kind of tasks become boring and dull after some time. Indeed, commonplace refers to standard and ordinary situations, objects or concepts. The diversification and critique prevented the overuse of a commonplace. The poets applied their creativity and knowledge which gave birth to many different styles and movements. They made something out of something in a different way and the critiques shaped the way of rules and principles. The process is called ostranenie, which is a Russian word and means defamiliarization.
