The figurative language here ( ‘A tree my baby brothers could lean on’ and ‘the raft that helps carry them over this life’s rough rivers’) Tells me that the writer of this poem is needed to be a ‘breadwinner’ for the family. This can be enforced by the fact that the poem states the family only consists of ‘Mom and us kids’, The author is now tasked with duties such as caring for his baby brothers once his mother is no longer able to. Families without 2 parental figures is normally very straining to the kids and the single parent, only the strongest can withstand the onslaught of caring for kids. Thus letting me know that the meaning of this poem is that family needs to be there for each other because no one else would.

Answer:

emotion or atmosphere created by the author.

Explanation:

In English literature, a tone can be defined as the attitude of an author or writer towards a subject.

This ultimately implies that, the point of view or perspective of an author toward a subject in a literary work is his or her tone.

Also, you should note that a "tone" is a literary device in literature and as  doesn't mean the way people speak or the pitch used by a speaker in contemporary english language.

Basically, the tone of a text expresses or reflects the mood of an author of a literary work and as such goes a long way to affect the countenance of the reader. Therefore, the tone being used by an author in a literary work such as articles, novels, stories etc., has the potential of evoking various emotions and shaping the perspective of a reader of the piece of writing.

In this context, the mood of a story simply means the emotion or atmosphere created by the author through the use of setting, imagery, descriptions and attitude. Thus, the emotions elicited may include feelings of anger, fear, calm, joy, happiness, sadness, compassion, etc.
