How does figurative language affect mood and tone in a text
How can figurative language affect mood and tone in a text?
Figurative language can affect mood and tone in a text by showing the emotion with the characters in the story by saying things like "The bullets screamed in the air when the gun was fired". That makes the mood gloomy and sad but when you say things like "The wind howled when we went to the mountains". That might make you feel happy and cold on the inside.
