-Types of Tones: https://www.americanrecruiters.com/2016/08/16/9-types-tone-writing/

1. Joyful: This tone in writing focuses on the positive emotions that are experienced in the moment of an action

2. Serious: This tone in writing creates a level of suspense within the reader. It increases their focus because the concepts being offered are important.

3. Humorous: Being funny does more than making people laugh. It also makes them begin to think about difficult concepts in a way that feels safe. This tone in writing is often intended to draw the reader into a story or narrative so they can engage with certain facts or opinions the author feels are important to share.

4. Sad: Sadness is a very real part of the human condition. In many ways, our saddest days define who we are as people.

5. Formal: This tone in writing is often seen from an academic standpoint. It requires structured language, higher reading skills, and presents more facts that can be proven than the opinions of the writer.

6. Informal: The goal of this content is to have an informal tone. It’s conversational, but still conveys a certain sense of expertise within the subject material.

7. Optimistic: There’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world today.

8. Pessimistic: When there’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, it can feel like that bad stuff will only get worse. That kind of tone would be an example of being pessimistic. Pessimism is not realism. Being pessimistic means having a belief that something will never get better, even if the facts may seem to indicate otherwise.

9. Horror: This tone of voice is threatening in nature. It speaks to the core fears that people have and forces them to confront those fears.


-These are the 9 main types of tones. The book can have more than one tone but there would be one tone that overall summarizes it you could say.
