As writers, we use tone in our writing to convey our feelings about a subject and to express our attitude toward it. Tone is an important part of any text because it helps readers understand your message and how you feel about it.
The tone of a piece of writing can be serious, light-hearted, angry, etc. It can also be affected by the choice of words, the point of view, and the level of formality. For example, if you are writing about someone’s death in a serious tone, it might sound like this: “The death of my grandmother was extremely sad for all who knew her.” However, if you were writing about the same event in a light-hearted tone it might sound like this: “The day my grandmother died was one of the happiest days in my life.”
Tone can also be used to give a specific impression. If your writing has an angry tone it will make people think that you are angry with them even when you aren’t. If you want people to think that you are happy and friendly with them, then use positive words in your writing and avoid negative words as much as possible.
Tone is something that can be difficult to define and recognize in writing because it is not always obvious and not always stated directly by the author.
