Metaphor

"A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things" - from literarydevices.net

Internet Example:
"Her hair was a golden flowing river." - from Yourdictionary.com

My Own Example:
"The teacher's heart is a block of ice. Nobody can melt her--she will never be compassionate about her students."

Tone

"Attitude of the author towards the subject matter, as interpreted by the reader" (from poetryfoundation.com).

Internet example:
Father: “We can’t go on vacation this summer.”
Son: “Yeah, great! That’s what I expected.”

– The son’s tone is sarcastic.
