Question

How do writers express tone in written works?

i just need an example or something. anything helps :)

Answer 1

it may be how the writer presents a sort of theme. for example using dark words (cloudy, rainy, dark, full moon, abandoned, broken castle ect) or like happy words ( sunshine, blue sky, rainbow, warm, joy). they could say something like "the dark clouds hovered over us, covering the full moon above" which makes a sense/tone of horror.i could be wrong though
