Using the ACE Writing Strategy (ACE = Answer the question, Cite Textual Evidence, Explain your answer), in the space below, TYPE at least one paragraph of more than 5 sentences, and explain your answer from the
previous question. BE SURE TO INCLUDE Textual Evidence from BOTH Passage A and Passage B to support
your answer. Explain how the author's tone changed from Passage A to Passage B.

The authors tone in "About Russel" changes from hopeful, to unpromising. In Passage A the author is seen stating, "...Russel's future was bright and without limitation..." This gives a feeling of optimism, and shows that Russel was headed on a good path. This feeling changes in Passage B, as it says, "Further and further Russel slipped away, unable to make eye contact or hold a conversation." This sentence is very discouraging, as it seems all progress made was simply forgotten. Putting these two sentences together, it shows the change in tone dramatically, further proving the point of this change in tone. In conclusion, the tone of each passage is different, as it goes from expectant to hopeless.
