13. Making Inferences: Page 6 ▪ Based on what you marked, fill in the boxes for speaker 1 for diction, syntax, imagery and tone. ▪ What might you be able to say about the speaker from the evidence you gathered? Write this in the Inferences box. ▪ Speak Out: What did the class say?

Remember to highlight and annotate each speaker’s passage for diction, syntax, and imagery that help contribute to the voice and tone of the speaker. ▪ Once you’ve read and annotated, what inferences can you make about the speaker?
