Literary Elements: Voice and Tone?

Hi! I'm doing a homework assignment on a certain book, and we're asked to do literary elements for the novel. Tonight, my teacher assigned voice and tone, however I'm having trouble finding the difference between them, as when I looked "Voice" up online, it mentions "tone" in the definition. O_O

Help? Thanks!

    voice is dialog (what people say like "blah blah blah..."

    tone is the way the story is written

    (eg. junie b. jones has a funny tone

    while Stephen king books have a scary and serious tone)
