Tone

What is tone?

Tone in literature means the way the setting feels or a way a character speaks. For example in the book Lord of the Flies the tone in Ralphs voice when he says "There was a ship-" was distant and dissapointed.

How can you find tone?
Usually in a book the author will be abvious about the tone of the scene or the way a character is speaking. If you are not quite sure what the tone of the scene or speaking part is you could look around the sentence. Look at the way others are speaking or the way the scene of the book is at the time.
