Question

What is the author’s tone in a piece of writing?

Answer 1

Hi!

An author's tone is basically their overall feeling or attitude toward a topic. The tone can be anything from angry, happy, or even sad. 

Here's an example:

'And just like that, she left. The walls of melancholy arose; closing in on me once more. I stood alone'. 

You would say that the tone in this passage would be of sadness. 

Hopefully, this helps you! =)
