Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hmm that is a good question. I'm no by means an expert on writing or setting a certain tone or mode. I would say start with some type of foreshadowing or a good hook that sets the tone for how you want the reader to feel. I don't know if that really help.

"P.s"- Here is something I had to write for a essay for English. It's about a murder story so I'll copy my hook.

[Have you ever been disrespected for no reason? Have you ever been filled with so much light but got blinded to darkness because of the cruel world of men? [HOOK] The house by the railroad wasn’t always so dark. There was once light to me, a light that shined so bright that people from miles away could see it, despite this with this light entranced an evil and disgusting being, and for this exact reason I filled with darkness and as years passed, I grew darker and angry.] This is my first paragraph. Hope that helps
