 Differentiating between tone and mood

Tone and mood are not the same, although they are frequently
confused. The mood of a piece of literature is the feeling or
atmosphere created by the work, or, said differently, how the work
makes the reader feel. Mood is produced most effectively through the
use of setting, theme, voice and tone.[2]
Example

“Suddenly the sun came from behind a cloud. And there was a blinding sparkle!

answer: mood –happy

Tone is a literary compound of composition, which encompasses the

attitudes toward the subject and toward the audience implied in a
literary work.[1] Tone may be formal, informal, intimate, solemn,
somber, playful, serious, ironical, condescending, or many other
possible attitudes.
Example: That night one of the children sobbed his story to his
Abstraction mother and father who live in the village of Santa Maria.

Answer: tone – somber
