Establishing a Tone
3
Focus Mode: Expository
he tone of a piece of writing reveals the feelings and attitudes of the person behind the words. It captures how the writer wants the reader to feel as he or she is reading: excited, scared, angry, worried, entertained, and so on. Good writers figure out that establishing the right tone is essential to connecting to readers and keeping them interested in the main idea as it develops.
