In the short story by Steven Pinker, the tone of the story stays positive throughout. He notes that the news and people in general report on what is wrong in the world, not what is good. His words try to convey the people just to think about how our world is getting better, not that it is perfect. The mood of the passage is very inspiring. By allowing the reader to understand the improvements the world has made thus far, it only allows them to think how much better it can get in the future.

After reading just a few sentences of the short story the author is unsure and gives a questionable tone because he doesn't know what toothbrush to get, but he doesn't know if he should waste his time searching for the "best" toothbrush. As he does a little bit of research on the web he finds some helpful reviews to help him make his decision which then gives off a positive and somewhat excited mood.

Paulo Coelho

The author used a hopeful tone, in direction to the future, because he says, that acquiring qualities can turn into advantages; that life is still great, even if you are not able to do something anymore. It is the same with the mood, it made me feel happy, that I will have advantages with a qualities I once had, when I just work on them, instead of being sad that they are acquired.
The word choice is calm, because Coelho describes life the way it is. With no use of special words, just simple.
You can clearly imagine how he is describing his life, how he experienced it.

The tone of his short story seems optimistic and reflective, because he seems hopeful for a good future. The mood seems modest because he is talking about his accomplishments and look back on his life. The voice of the passage seems intent, he seems happy with who he is and how he will make himself better. The word choice is emotional or how he feels looking back on his life. Imagery isn't really used just about his life and how he looks back on himself and wish he would've noticed the passage of time instead of rushing through moments in his life. Figurative language is not really used in his short story.

The tone is  reflective because as the narrator told us about how Steve felt after what the doc had told him. The mood is contemplative because its intending to make you rethink your decision. There was only a little figurative language, and once Steve was told he might need surgery he compared it to a first date proposal as a metaphor of the ridiculousness at the thought.
