Identifying Tone 200Shug come over and she and Sofia hug. Shug say, Girl, you look like a good time, you do. That when I notice that Shug talk and act sometimes like a man. Men say stuff like that to women, Girl, you look like a good time. Women always talk about hair and health. How many babies living or dead, or got teef. Not about how some woman they hugging on look like a good time.

Identifying Tone 800Everybody latched on to you during these trips, congressmen, businessmen, and directors and presidents of this and that. Every hotshot in town wanted to be next to the astronaut. For the first ten or fifteen minutes it was enough for them to breathe the same air you breathed and occupy the same space as your famous body. But then they began looking at you. . . And waiting. . . Watiting for what? Well, dummy! –waiting for you to say a few words! They wanted something Hot! If you were one of the seven greatest pilots and seven bravest men in America, then obviously, you must be fascinating to listen to.” --Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff.

What is spirited and conversational?
Identifying Tone 1000The best part of human language, properly so called, is derived from reflection on the acts of the mind itself. It is formed by a voluntary appropriation of fixed symbols to internal acts, to processes and results of imagination, the greater part of which have no place in the consciousness of uneducated man; though in civilized society, by imitation and passive remembrance of what they hear from their religious instructors and other superiors, the most uneducated share in the harvest which they neither sowed nor reaped.” Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Biographia Literaria
