I can analyze how mood and tone contribute to the meaning of a literary text.

Tone in writing is conveyed through word choice and expresses the author's attitude, while mood is the overall feeling or atmosphere created for the reader.

A neutral tone can make writing seem uninteresting, while a more positive tone can make the speaker sound excited and eager.

Authors can create a dark and mysterious mood by using language that evokes somber and frightening experiences.
