Tone Tone is the author’s attitude toward a subject. While journalistic writing theoretically has a tone of distance and objectivity, all other writing can have various tones. If we were to read a description of a first date that included words and phrases like “dreaded” and “my buddies forced me to go on the date”, we could assume that the individual didn’t really enjoy the date. Some tone words include: Mood Mood is the atmosphere of a piece of writing; it’s the emotions a selection arouses in a reader.
