We live in Maryland. Does/can the english definition of the word tone include facial expression? According to Mirriam Webster's collegiate dictionary, 10th edition: The 6th definition of the word tone is: style or manner of expression in speaking or writing. Then I looked up the word speaking.
Tone is an author's attitude towards his subject and audience (see References 1). Since a narrative essay (see References 2) is essentially an autobiographical story making a point, the tone of the essay depends upon the emotional investment, or lack of it, the author demonstrates.
