Tone

Definition:
The way of writing or saying something
which illustrates a feeling, emotion, or
mood.

Example:
"Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds,
 which I should first break through, and pour
 a torrent of light into our dark world." This
statement is written in a dark tone.

Significance:
The tone of a piece of writing shows
readers what a story is really about
and how it is supposed to feel.
