Tone/Personality of Digital Presence (Rebecca Skloot)

1. I already touched on tone a bit in my first post about the different forms of media. I think Skloot has a very familiar tone, someone that one would feel comfortable approaching. In her actual book Skloot portrays the same kind of qualities to me. Although she seems tough in certain ways, (her persistence is tough!) there is also a softness and goodness to her that is charismatic and evocative. Her online presence only confirms what I already thought, she is the type of writer that you want to sit down  and have a conversation over coffee with. Her Facebook page shows that she is friendly to fans. In her replies she is responsive and warm.
