Tone: Similar to mood, tone describes the author's attitude toward his or her material, the audience, or both. Tone is easier to determine in spoken than in written language.
Example: ""The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege."
(Frederick Douglass Pg.1)
This could be tone because we see how he feels about slavery. That he thinks it's wrong of all the people that did it. Throught the whole book we see how he hates the fact that they have to be deprived of all the rights all people have.
