Tone refers to the attitude or mood expressed in writing, influencing how a piece is perceived. For example, a mother’s lullaby conveys a soothing and loving tone, while an email from a boss may carry a threatening and intimidating tone. In contrast, inference involves drawing conclusions based on evidence rather than explicit statements, often indicated by words like "suggests" or "implies." In your notebooks, explore images by noting explicit details, inferred actions, background knowledge used for conclusions, and the overall tone reflected in the visuals.
