It’s a simple question, but the answer can be rather complicated. In this post, we’ll break down the 9 different types of tones in writing.

In basic terms, tone usually refers to how a writer uses certain words in a specific way to convey non-verbal observations about specific subjects. Not only does tone help to deliver facts, but it delivers them with an attitude. With emotion. With a personal perspective.

1. Joyful

This tone in writing focuses on the positive emotions that are experienced in the moment of an action. If you eat something you like, then you feel joy. When you experience reciprocal love, you feel joy.

Writers use this tone to create relationship-building experiences between their readers and their characters.

2. Serious

This tone in writing creates a level of suspense within the reader. With this tone, the writer conveys the message that the concepts in the text are important. This, in turn, increases the reader’s focus.

3. Humorous

Being funny does more than make people laugh. It also makes them begin to think about difficult concepts in a way that feels safe.

This tone in writing is often intended to draw the reader into a story or narrative so they can engage with certain facts or opinions the author feels are important to share.

4. Sad

Sadness is a very real part of the human condition. In many ways, our saddest days define who we are as people. When incorporated as a tone in writing, the reader becomes sympathetic with the characters or the author. This empathy will keep them engaged with the narrative.

5. Formal

This tone in writing is often seen from an academic standpoint. It requires structured language, higher reading skills, and presents more facts that can be proven than the opinions of the writer.

6. Informal

The goal of this content is to have an informal tone. It’s conversational, but still conveys a certain sense of expertise within the subject material.

7. Optimistic

There’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world today. Yet there is also a belief that the world can and will be a better place one day if we’re willing to work for it. This would be an example of an optimistic tone.

8. Pessimistic

When there’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, it can feel like that bad stuff will only get worse. That kind of tone would be an example of being pessimistic. Pessimism is not realism. Being pessimistic means having a belief that something will never get better, even if the facts may seem to indicate otherwise.

9. Horror

This tone of voice is threatening in nature. It speaks to the core fears that people have and forces them to confront those fears.

What happens when Holden explains to Phoebe that he’d like to be the “Catcher in the rye?”
MAVERICK [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Holden means that he wants children to stop growing up so they don't need to face the adult problems that he has delt with.

"Phoebe points out that Holden has misheard the words—the actual lyric, from the Robert Burns poem, “Coming Thro' the Rye,” is “If a body meet a body coming through the rye” (Sparknotes).

In the poem “Afterwards,” Hardy uses figurative language, including euphemism, to develop meaning and tone. What is the meaning
Alja [10]
I read an analysis of the poem "Afterwards" by Thomas Hardy.

Euphemism is defined as the use of an indirect word or expression as a substitute of the actual word or expression that is either too harsh or blunt when referring to something embarrassing or extremely unpleasant. 

Afterwards is used as a euphemism for death. Each stanza refers to the narrator dying in a certain season or time. 1st stanza deals with dying during the month of May and spring time. 2nd Stanza deals with dying on an autumn season. 3rd stanza deals with dying on a summer night. 4th stanza deals with dying on a winter night. 5th stanza deals with the funeral of the person. 

Death is a very unpleasant topic to talk about and in the poem, it is being discussed in line with nature and its seasons. The poem uses metaphors and personification to make the subject more relatable to the readers and to enable the readers to appreciate the beauty of death without fearing it.
