  • Elaborate!!!
  • Dont be obvious
  • Dont use character names
    • For example...
    1:"The author believes that racism is bad." Well, everyone knows that racism is bad. This is vague, and you need to ask yourself, "Why?" or "What does it do?"
    Revised: "The author believes that discrimination and racism can lead to hurt and pain."

    • How do writers express their thoughts through their work? 
    • What tools do writers use to create tone within a piece of art or writing? 
    • How can I become a better writing through using tone and theme?

    Every author has a different writing style, and different tones are portrayed in different ways.

    Tone is the author's overall attitude towards a subject. In literature, tone is conveyed through the authors use of language, including word choice, phrasing and sentence structures. 
    Tone is also details that are included or omitted in the texts. 

    Tone is the attitude toward his or her subject.
    For example, sarcasm could be conveyed through the mocking of the characters voice. 

    Tone is conveyed through:
    • Diction (choice of words or phrases).
    • Viewpoint
    • Syntax (grammar, example, "Yay!" "Yay..." "Yay..?")
    • TONE IS NOT MOOD          
    Tone is how the narrator feels about their subject or is trying to convey Mood is what you feel when reading the story

    Mood
    • The feeling when you read the story. 
    • Think about the setting and the language.
