MOOD VS. TONEWHAT’S THE
DIFFERENCE? Tone: The author’s attitude
towards what he is writing about.
Mood: The emotions the reader feels. Usually a result of the author’s tone, however not always the same.
One piece of literature can evoke several moods among readers based on the reader’s own experience.

HOWEVER, THE LETTER COULD EVOKE SEVERAL
DIFFERENT MOODS BASED ON ALEXANDRA’S EXPERIENCES:
