4.2 ASSIGNMENT: Identifying Tone and Mood (Due February 15)

Identifying Tone and Mood 

21 Points

Tone is the author’s attitude toward the writing (his characters, the situation) and the readers. A work of writing can
have more than one tone. An example of tone could be both serious and humorous. Tone is set by the setting, choice of vocabulary and other details.

Mood is the general atmosphere created by the author’s words. It is the feeling the reader gets from reading those
words. It may be the same, or it may change from situation to situation.

Authors set a TONE or MOOD in literature by conveying an emotion or emotions through words. The way a person feels about an idea, event, or another person can be quickly determined through facial expressions, gestures and in the tone of voice used.
