-----Tone: the attitude a writer takes towards a subject or character: serious, humorous, sarcastic, dark. One trick that may help you figure out the tone of the story is to imagine the scene as a movie. What sort of music would be playing in the background? Do you imagine something dark and moody, light and peppy, somber and thoughtful? Music is a tool often used in movies to emphasize tone.
