Tone is a literary technique, that is a part of composition, that encompasses the attitudes toward the subject and toward the audience implied in
a literary work. Tone may be formal, informal, intimate, solemn, somber, playful, serious, ironic, condescending, or many other
possible attitudes.
The tone of a piece of work can be found in many ways. Without tone, a piece of literature would have no emotion, and therefore be very boring. In many cases, the tone of a piece of work may change or evolve.
