Assignment 9: Tone and Voice

The term “author’s voice” is usually referring to the author’s personal attitude towards the subject matter they are writing about. “Author’s tone” however is a term describing the mood of the writer, or the mood they want you to feel. For example, a writer can use various voices in his writing (satirical, patronizing, humorous, etc.) but tone is about the bigger picture, what the mood is after reading the words said with their voice. “While voice can be attributed as a writer’s representation of the truth that he depicts, tone can be said to be representation of his feelings or attitudes”(1). Voice can be considered stylistic, and different writers have different and unique voices. Tone however, only describes their mood or feelings
