Once a reader can easily identify the tone of the passage, they gain a fuller understanding
of the author's message. We all deal with tone everyday. Whether its the tone of your voice while you're talking to your mother
or the perfect make- up that matches your skin tone, the concept is not foreign to us. Now, we simply need to address
tone from a different point of view. So click away and as Walt would say, " The way to get started is to quit talking and
begin doing" !
