Question

President Barack Obama's inaugural address in 2009. Consider the context of this speech. How would you characterize its tone? What message do you think Obama was trying to send to the American people?

Answer 1

Tone in speech is basically asking the listener to understand what the attitude of the speaker is: kind, understanding, clever, angry, sarcastic, etc.

The best thing to do is to search the internet for "types of tone in speech", review it, and see which applies to President Obama's speech.
