Hello!
The difference between tone and mood is:
[tex]\boxed{ \bf A.~tone~is~how~the~author~feels,~and~mood~is~how~the~reader~feels.}[/tex]
____________________________________________________________
Tone:
Tone is what the author feels about what s/he is writing. It reflects the writer's feelings.
Mood:
Mood is what the reader feels about what s/he is reading. It is intended to shape the reader's emotional response to the literary work.
Sometimes the mood and tone can be the same. This isn't always the case, though.
