What senses are they appealing to? Figurative Language?
The lake was left shivering by the touch of morning wind.
The eerie silence was shattered by her scream.
He felt like the flowers were waving him a hello.
He knew a storm was coming, the smell of moss and moisture
told him it would arrive soon.
The iron taste in her mouth was an indicator of fresh blood.

Tone refers to the author's attitude towards the subject, while mood is the emotional atmosphere of the text. The difference lies in how the author feels versus how the reader feels. Understanding and analyzing tone involves considering aspects like diction, imagery, figurative language, and syntax. By examining diction closely, one can discern between formal and informal language, abstract and concrete words, and the connotations associated with specific terms. Recognizing and interpreting tone and mood enriches the reader's experience of literary works.
