Understanding Tone in Emails
In modern fiction, characters often communicate through emails that reveal their personalities and relationships. An email's tone can be formal, informal, sarcastic, or friendly, depending on the context and intent. For example, a character writing to a friend may use casual language and humor, while a letter to a boss would require professionalism and politeness. Recognizing these tones helps us understand the characters' motives and emotional states.
