II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Inferring is one thing we do when we read a story, poem or some other
types of written texts. When we read we want to know the speaker’s/writer’s
tone and mood.

Tone - is about what the writer or speaker feels about the character.
Readers can only infer the speaker’s tone based on the chosen
words used by the writer or speaker.

Examples: Unsure, sincere, entertained, depressed, sympathetic,

cheerful, angry, bitter, excited, happy, etc.

Mood – is the general feeling or atmosphere that the piece of

writing creates. This is the feeling that you get while reading a
certain piece.

Anxious, scary, worried, lonely (negative mood)
