Last time we introduced the concept of tone. We read speeches by Ann Romney and Gov. Chris Christie delievered at the Republican National Convention. Today we'll read the speech delivered by the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.
You'll find the text of his speech here.
After reading the speech, add a comment below, naming what you consider to be its tone. Use two or three different tone words, accompanied by two or three quotations from the speech.
Next, you'll choose a news source from the list below. Look for the story about Governor Romney's speech and read that article. You are looking for the ways in which they describe the speech, specifically its tone (they'll probably comment on a lot of things, from the specific policies to what he had to say about President Obama, but we are looking at the tone, not the content).
After you read what they had to say, add another comment to the thread below. Name which article you read (and the website) then write a brief description of how they saw it. Include at least one quotation from that source.
