Uddrag
Her får du en smagsprøve på analysehjælpens indhold:
Speaker’s Tone
Reshma Saujani’s tone in her speech develops from being humorous and self-ironic in the beginning to becoming increasingly serious and empathetic.
At first, Saujani opens her speech using humor and self-deprecating irony, talking about her failure in her attempt to become a congresswoman: “So a few years ago, I did something really brave, or some would say really stupid. I ran for Congress.” (l. 1)
This makes her more approachable and builds a rapport with the audience. Then, gradually her tone becomes more direct and serious: “Now, before you get the wrong idea, this is not a talk about the importance of failure.” (l. 14)
