Explanation:
In literature, the tone refers to the way the author addresses issues or the feelings and attitudes he or she expresses about the main subject matter, because of this, the tone can be mainly identified through the diction that is the words the author choose to express different elements in a literary piece. As a result, tone relies mainly on diction.
On the other hand, the mood refers to the atmosphere the author creates in a literary work and the feeling or emotions this atmosphere causes in the readers. As tone, mood is also influenced by the choice of words or diction, but there are also other elements that contribute to the mood including the setting as a story with a sad or scary mood takes place in a different setting that one with a cheerful mood; the use of description that provide vivid details to explain the atmosphere; the tone of the author and the use of pauses and similar devices to create rhythm. Consequently, it can be concluded that while the tone is determined by diction, the mood is affected by many things and not only diction.
