To identify phrases that build an informal tone in "Sinking and Swaddled" by Beth Gilstrap, you would typically look for conversational language, colloquialisms, or a more relaxed style of expression.
Since I do not have access to specific text excerpts, I can suggest looking for:
- Colloquial expressions: Phrases that mimic everyday speech or use slang.
- Personal anecdotes: Any mention of personal experiences or a casual storytelling style that resembles a conversation.
If you can provide specific excerpts, I would be happy to help analyze them for informal tone!
