:
The tone of the speaker's voice is articulate. Meaning it is very fluent. I think it was a good idea to talk this way because it is something that is new to people, and her sister has no idea that she made a memoir about her. Also, when someone is
more
speaking something new, one would expect it to be normal to have a fluent tone of voice, not exaggerated.

Adichie tone of voice is very pleasant and eloquent. Even though her voice isn’t Dramatic, she still was able to catch the attention of the audience, in this case me. Not only did she catch my attention because of her incredibly charming writing, but her voice was fit for the type of writing she had in store for us.
Apr 30
Adichie also involved her audience and made the audience be apart of the speech.
Apr 30
Adichie has this strategy where she gives the audience context before she reads her excerpts. This helps her a good amount because it works as a great hook. It’s like if she were give us the appetizer, and we’re left with that feeling of wanting the full meal.
