The tone of the book varies depending on the subject the author is talking about when he refers to the past and his mood when he is in the present. When he talks to his father, and members of his family when he first arrives in Indio his tone is angry, vindictive, and judgmental. When he thinks of his mother one can describe his tone as being sentimental and thoughtful. The same holds true in the ghost whispers to his lover. His tone is optimistic and enthusiastic at times. Reader feel his excitement when his family finally gets their own place, when he gets into college, and when he wins the spelling bee.
