Tone reveals the overall attitude displayed by the author in writing on
a topic.
It is the attitude of the author towards the main idea.
How the author treats a particular subject?
The First and Last paragraph must be carefully read.
Narrative tone is the narration of a series of events which are connected to one another.
It is akin to story-telling but without any description of events
It can be a detailed account of events but lacking analysis.
Descriptive passages describe things, places, people or events in great detail.
What are describing words? Adjectives, Adverbs, similes, metaphors,
metonym. So these passages are full of such descriptions that enhance the value of the thing, place, people or event. Analytical Tone is usually deductive.
To analyse is to examine something carefully by looking at its various
parts in detail. It puts forth reasons for choosing a particular line of thought.
It can involve criticism of policies, ideas etc
Analytical tone typically mentions pros and cons of something.
It is like a multi-dimensional view of something.
Argumentative Tone is like a debate. The author puts forth his point of view and substantiates upon it with evidence, facts or figures etc.
Impartiality and directness are the cornerstones of argumentative tone.
