centered around a piece of writing. Though they seem similar and can in fact be related casually, they are in fact quite different.
ToneTone 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.
MoodMood is the atmosphere of a piece of writing;
it’s the emotions a selection arouses in a reader.
