The tone modulates according to William's mood. It is generally told neutrally, but fluctuates from playful to depressing to hopeful as he grows up and encounters many hardships. However, because he is also explaining much of the history of Malawi, the tone occasionally shifts to a more explanatory, encyclopedic tone to best convey information to the audience.
