11 How are they different? Tone refers to what the writer thinks about his topic or piece. Mood refers to how the reader feels or reacts to the piece.

12 THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK A writer decides to write about a topic. He already has an attitude about that topic. That is his tone. The writer chooses words based on his tone. The writer wants his readers to feel a certain way after reading his story. He wants to control the MOOD. The writer looks at the words he choose because of his tone and makes sure that the words will create the mood he wants the reader to feel While reading the story you react to the words. They make you feel a certain way. The way the story makes the reader feel is the mood.

13 THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK Your Mom relies on you to help out with the dishes and when you don’t it makes her angry. When you don’t, her TONE is angry She calls your name, Then she calls your full name. She starts to tell you about how she was counting on your help and how frustrated and angry she feels She wants you to feel guilty so you won’t forget again, so she chooses her words carefully so you will understand exactly how much this messes her up and feel guilty You listen and begin to realize how awful you made her day and feel guilty.. Your feeling of guilt is the MOOD your mom was hoping you would feel.
