The Importance Of Tone

After studying Chapter nine, I learned that Tone is an attitude; not actions. The Tone is significant in determining the author’s purpose of the story. It's critical to pay attention to the writer's word choice or phrase when analyzing tone or author’s attitude toward a subject. Interpreting the author's tone gives readers a greater understanding of the author’s purpose of writing. The authors may use certain words in their writing to express different kinds of tones. An awareness reader should recognize these attitudes or tones by the subject, the sentence structure, the atmosphere, and the work connotations.
