Tone
Tone, in written composition, is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is generally conveyed through the choice of words or the view point of a writer on a particular subject.

Every written piece comprises a central theme or subject matter. The manner in which a writer approaches this theme and subject is called tone. The tone can be formal, informal, serious, sarcastic, sad, and cheerful. It may also be any other existing attitude.

Tone in a piece of literature decides how it should be read by the readers.
