2. First: Defining Tone and Mood
The narrator’s, or speaker’s, attitude toward the subject of the text.
Questions to ask yourself:
Did the author explicitly say what his/her attitude is toward the subject?
If not, what clues from the text helped me to infer the author’s attitude toward the subject?
Mood:
The reader’s feeling generated from the narrator’s tone.
