Longer Definitions Tone in literature tells us how the author thinks about his or her subject. The author's style conveys the tone in literature. Tone is the author's attitude toward story and readers. Mood is the effect of the writer's words on the reader. Mood is how the writer’s words make us feel.

Practice Identifying Mood Hello, it's me I was wondering if after all these years You'd like to meet, to go over everything They say that time's supposed to heal ya But I ain't done much healing Hello, can you hear me? I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be When we were younger and free I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet There's such a difference between us And a million miles Hello, how are you? It's so typical of me to talk about myself. I'm sorry I hope that you're well Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened? [Chorus] Hello from the other side I must've called a thousand times And it's no secret that the both of us To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done Are running out of time But when I call you never seem to be home Hello from the outside [chorus] At least I can say that I've tried To tell you I'm sorry, for breaking your heart But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Why it should be avoided �It does not specify the actor or subject of the sentence, uses vague language, or is wordy and unprofessional. � Example A: Does not specify who ate the caveman. � Example B: Is too wordy � Example C: Too vague

How to Fix it �Examples: All three are passive �The Caveman was eaten by the dinosaur �The Dinosaur will get the caveman. �What to do: �Example A: Add a subject �Example B: change structure of sentence �Example C: use stronger verb
