You are supposed to write an essay that analyzes Elvira Editor's tone. Your essay must both define what her stance toward teenagers is and must examine how the tone of that stance is communicated. Therefore, your thesis must be in the vein of "Elvira Editor feels XYZ about teenagers and communicates it by doing ABC."
