The Tone of a story


Tone


Tone: the manner in which an author expresses his or her attitude.

Example: In a scary movie, the whole tone of the movie or story is horror, suspense, and suprise, to get a reaction out of its audience. Same thing would go with the tone of a comedy, it would be light and funny. It's not what the story is, but how it is.
