Tone also exists in speech but when a person is talking to somebody; their body language and voice help to clarify what is being said so that misunderstandings are less frequent. Unfortunately, words on a page cannot convey tone by themselves and therefore the author must make sure that the tone is understood by the reader. This is not an easy thing to do and may take some practice perfecting.

the supplies, men and ships that he needed to go on his expedition. He was given three ships to make the voyage - the
Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
During the trip, Columbus’ men were scared silly that they'd be lost at sea and that they'd run out of food and die of hunger. As the days wore on his men began to turn against him.
Columbus was made to agree to turn back if they didn't find land in three days.
Columbus was made to agree to turn back if they didn't find land in three days.
On the night before he'd have had to turn around and head back to Spain, land was
sighted. Columbus and his men had come across an island in the Caribbean,
which they named Hispanolia. Columbus hadn't
realized that he'd arrived in a new part of the world. He believed
that he was in India. For this reason, he called the people that lived
on these islands the Indians.

Washington's first visit to Pittsburgh occurred in November, 1753, while
he was on his way to the French fort at Leboeuff. He was carrying a

plans of the French commander in undertaking to establish a line of
forts to reach from Lake Erie to the mouth of the Ohio River. The winter
