In the essay "On Compassion" the observant tone is very prevalent. You can imagine her walking down the streets of New York taking a mental note of each homeless man she encounters. she describes one man as the one who is only held on earth by gravity itself instead of plans or goals. When she sees the mother and her baby she observes that it is a Aprica stroller. There are many different demonstrations of observant tone.
