Tone - the feelings a narrator has toward a character or subject in the story.
Figurative language - language that uses figures of speech to create images of what something looks, sounds, or feels like. It is different from literal language because literal language means exactly what it says. One common form of figurative language is when you describe something by comparing it to something else.
