TONE AND MOOD VOCABULARY

There is no definitive list for developing a specific tone and mood vocabulary.
Work at it each week - whenever you are analysing a text and find yourself
using a vague or general term (e.g. ‘sad’ or ‘happy’), consult the following
diagrams and substitute a more specific word. You could also use a
thesaurus and find more specific and nuanced synonyms. Practice makes
perfect!
