Feelings about a certain subject, like a person, an object or through questions in poems that are implied for the reader.
Example:
Around me are pirates,
Around pirates are the oceans,
Surrounding us are the tension,
I couldn't move, they'd shoot.
Their captain with an eye-patch and the sailors with angry looks.
I stand alone, I won't care.
I hear the gentle voice, I jump out,
Mommy is calling for cookies!
The tone of the poem above at first is tension, later on humorous.
Why is it important in Language Arts?
Tone helps show the audience what the author was feeling, which leads to the message that the author is trying to show us through lines and words.
