.... talk with people. I was introverted to an extreme. Michael helped me come out of my shell and yet, he did not push me. I was able to develop a part of me I had never gotten to explore before.

"He used this preoccupied tone when he was thinking of something more interesting than what you had said," commented Gene. Another example of this occurred when .....

Outstanding tone and mood choice also help show the truth about the weak human sole. First, the Wolfe's informal tone of the story is significant. I believe Wolfe's tone help set up the readers for the shock of what Dick does. However, the tone the author sets is important because of the shock we get, we also see how fragile the human sole is and how it can easily change.
