What is TONE?
In our everyday lives we are aware of people using a tone of voice to vary their meaning and how their discussion comes across. Everyone understands the use to tone of voice when it is someone speaking. Within persuasive pieces the author will always write their piece with a certain tone in order to establish the feeling or emotion in the piece. The different with the written work (as opposed to the spoken) is that we aren't provided with spoken cues and facial expression to assist us with identifying what the tone is. The written tone can be hard to identify. One if the best techniques to assist you with this is 'reading the article in your head, or out loud if possible to distinguish tone and imaging someone else speaking the words to imagine how it would be spoken.
