Mood is defined as how the reader is meant to feel. Tone belongs to the narrator while mood belongs to the reader. The document provides examples of passages with different tones - one dark and dreary, the other bright and happy - to show how tone influences mood. It concludes that tone and mood are related but distinct, with tone describing the narrator's voice and mood describing the reader's feelings.
