In "About Men" by Gretel Enrlich, Enrlich uses multiple tones to convey her view of a cowboy. She shifts back and forth between tones. She mentions many aspects to a cowboys life. From the tough image they live up to with their courage and bravery as if cowboys were hero's. She also mentions that they are loving and compassionate, by the way they love animals and have respect for other people. Such as the courteous act of shaking hands firmly and tipping your hat to a woman. The tone conveyed by Enrlich is what gives of the point she tries to make about cowboys. That their is more to them than just riding horses and being "macho".
