TONE vs MOOD What they are and how you can tell the difference.

What is TONE? Tone is the author’s attitude toward the subject (his characters, the situation) and/or the audience. 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.

Examples of TONE "It was a dark and stormy night" sets a scary, uneasy tone. "The sun was shining brightly on the meadow" sets a happy tone. Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss would have a happy tone. Scarlett Letter would have a sad tone. Nancy Drew would have a suspenseful tone.

Voice is TONE Multiple Voices "The personality I am expressing in this written sentence is not the same as the one I orally express to my three- year-old who at this moment is bent on climbing onto my typewriter. For each of these two situations, I choose a different 'voice,' a different mask, in order to accomplish what I want accomplished." (Walker Gibson, The Limits of Language. Hill and Wang, 1966)

Voice is TONE "Just as you dress differently on different occasions, as a writer you assume different voices in different situations. If you're writing an essay about a personal experience, you may work hard to create a strong personal voice in your essay.... If you're writing a report or essay exam, you will adopt a more formal, public tone. Whatever the situation, the choice you make as you write and revise... will determine how readers interpret and respond to your presence." (Lisa Ede, Work in Progress: A Guide to Writing and Revising. St. Martin's Press, 1989)report
