==**Mood** is the general atmosphere created by the author’s words. It is the feeling **the reader gets** from reading those words. It may be the same, or it may change from situation to situation. ==

==**Tone** is the author’s attitude toward the writing (his characters, the situation) and the readers. A work of writing can have more than one tone. An example of tone could be both serious and humorous. Tone is set by the setting, choice of vocabulary and other details. ==
