Tone and Mood Exit Slip



The tone of my novel is serious and the mood is angry, annoyed, and belligerent. I know this because in my book it says, "Cool grassy scents drifted in through the windows, refreshing after the stench of the capital, but the cold-eyed man seated inside was oblivious to them. His mind was on murder"(Elliott 1). Another piece of evidence is "'I shall destroy your family.' And the thought of what he would do made him grind his teeth with pleasure "(Elliott 5). I just started this book a couple days ago so I don't know who the character is and if they influences others. So far the only character we know of is the assassin and his tone was not very persuasive. I know this because the Marquis did not fall for the trick to open the bag of money and count it, which would have lead to his death.
