Here's why:
* Tone refers to the author's attitude towards the subject matter or the audience. It's conveyed through word choice, sentence structure, and literary devices.
* Factual describes information that is based on evidence and objective truth. It doesn't express an attitude.
Here are some examples of tones you might find in a story:
* Humorous: A story told with a lighthearted and funny approach.
* Serious: A story that deals with weighty themes and emotions.
* Suspenseful: A story that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, unsure of what will happen next.
* Romantic: A story that focuses on love and its complexities.
