• Mood is the emotional atmosphere or feeling that the text creates in the reader. It is influenced by the tone, but also by other elements such as the setting, the plot, the characters, and the theme. Mood can be cheerful, gloomy, suspenseful, romantic, or any other emotion that the author wants to evoke. For example, in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, the mood is dark and eerie, as the author uses Gothic elements such as a decaying mansion, a mysterious illness, and a buried alive sister to create a sense of horror and dread2
• Tone is the author’s attitude toward the subject matter or the audience of the text. It is expressed through the choice of words, the style of writing, and the point of view of the narrator. Tone can be positive, negative, or neutral, and it can also convey emotions such as anger, sadness, humor, or sarcasm. For example, in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the tone is humorous and playful, as the author uses irony, exaggeration, and colloquial language to portray the adventures of a mischievous boy1

In summary, tone is the author’s voice, while mood is the reader’s response. Tone and mood can work together to enhance the meaning and impact of a text34
