Q&A: What are language descriptions and tone in writing?
Question by Jumper: What are language descriptions and tone in writing?
I have an essay I have to correct about the author’s purpose of entertaining. I can use humor, language descriptions, or tone.
What are language descriptions and tone? Please be as detailed as possible. Thanks!

Language description is used to make a statement more bold and provide a better imagery. Without it, reading would be extremely boring.
Here’s a sentence without language description:
“The wind was blowing a lot”
Here’s a sentence with language description:
“The western gale was whipping debris among other objects past my head.”
Tone is the way a piece of poetry, prose, or a story makes you feel. For example, after reading the statement: “The frail kitten watched in terror as two ferocious dogs fought over her.” You should feel a great deal of compassion for the kitten, because the image in your head is not only disturbing, but it makes you want to run over to the kitten and carry her off to safety.
So both of them contribute to making a far better story.
Hope I helped!

one of the tones of writing could be the writers bias.
youve gotta ask yourself whether the author is writing a piece which would benefit him in some way- for example a person wanting to sell say… condoms for example (haha) would write something about how condoms are good blah blah blah.
a good informative report or newspaper article is free from obvious writer bias.
your welcome.
