Tone and Mood

“Boy, watch your tone when speaking to me” Tone: The author’s attitude towards the subject of the piece, the audience, and self. Also known as, the way feelings are expressed. Conveyed through the use of: Diction (the words that the author uses in his/her writing) Point of View (the author’s view and how it affects his/her writing) Syntax (the arrangement of words to create sentences) And, the author’s level of formality (how formal or informal is the piece?)

“Don’t you use that tone of voice with me!” Has anyone ever said to you, "Don't use that tone of voice with me?" Your tone can change the meaning of what you say. Tone can turn a statement like, "You're a big help!" into a genuine compliment or a cruel sarcastic remark. It depends on the context of the story.

Important Tone Words Accusatory: charging of wrong doing Bitter: exhibiting strong animosity as a result of pain or grief Critical: finding fault Earnest: intense, a sincere state of mind Intimate: very familiar Matter-of-fact: accepting of conditions; not fanciful or emotional Optimistic: hopeful, cheerful Reverent: treating a subject with honor and respect Reflective: illustrating innermost thoughts and emotions Sarcastic: sneering, caustic Sincere: without deceit or pretense; genuine Solemn: deeply earnest, tending toward sad reflection

“Girl, you’re in a mood!” Mood: emotion evoked by a text. How the reader feels. Authors use many devices to create the mood in a text: Dialogue (language between the characters) Setting (where/when the story takes place, who the characters are, etc.) Plot (the rise and fall of action and events throughout the piece)

Suspense Depressed Disgusted Sad Lonely Scared Angry Anxious Tense Important Mood Words The following are examples of moods that a text can cause the reader to feel: Suspense Depressed Disgusted Sad Lonely Scared Angry Anxious Tense Excited Happy Suspicious

Tone vs. Mood These two words are easy to get confused when reading a text. Look at the following Venn Diagram to understand how mood and tone are different.

Tone vs. Mood Venn Diagram Similarities Tone is the author’s attitude toward the subject. Tone is conveyed through the author's words and details. Use context clues to help determine the tone. Author sets the tone through words. Possible tones are as numerous as the number of possible emotions a human being can have. Emotions that you (the reader) feel while you are reading a piece. Some pieces of literature make you feel sad, angry or happy. Often, a writer creates the mood at the beginning of a piece and then carries that same mood throughout the whole piece. SOMETIMES the mood will change as characters or plot changes. Emotions created through words

BEWARE!! Tone and mood can very easily be confused! Tone simply refers to how the author feels towards the subject, or towards something. You will know what the author’s tone is implying by the words he/she uses. While mood refers to the feeling of the atmosphere the author is describing. It is what the author makes you feel when you read the writing. You can read a sentence and feel sad, happy, or angry.

Examples of Tone I’d rather stay here and wait, than go into that dark room. The sentence above suggests that the person is scared. The sun is shining brightly finally, let’s go out and play! The sentence above suggests that the person is happy or excited. When I called my friend at her house, her brother said she’s not home, but I thought I heard her voice in the background. The sentence suggests that the person is suspicious.

Practice She huddled in the corner, clutching her tattered blanket and shaking convulsively, as she feverishly searched the room for the unknown dangers that awaited her. What word choice gets your attention? List them. Then answer the question, “What is the tone?” using your tone word list.

Examples of Mood The night was dark and stormy with howling winds rattling every window pane. The sentence gives you a scary ‘mood’ (or feeling). The man kicked and then flung the sick puppy out of his house. The sentence gives you a feeling of anger, or pity, towards the puppy. The fans were up cheering, the players clearly elated, and “We Will Rock You” echoed as the confetti began to fall from above . - The sentence gives you a mood of happiness and celebration.

Practice It was a dark and stormy night. I sat alone in the old, dilapidated house staring out the window. The sky was black, the wind was loud, and the rain slammed against the broken windowpane. I shut my eyes, remembering my earlier visit, and I felt so embarrassed and angry. When I opened them, the lightning bolt flashed and lit up the room once more. I had to get out of the house; I had to hide. No one could know my horrible mistake. I opened the door, took a deep breath, and ran into the cold and rain.   The mood of the passage is ___________________. What device did the author use to express the mood? ______________________.
