To review, there are three concepts to determine before you begin writing your essay: the tone, the audience and the purpose. The tone is the attitude of the writer. Two factors that greatly affect the tone are audience and purpose. The audience of an essay is anyone who might read it.
The White House is not in a state. It is located in Washington, D.C. The District of Columbia is a federal district that Congress established in the late 1700s with land Virginia and  Maryland donated for the purpose of serving as home to the nation's capital.
The modern-day White House complex includes the Executive Residence, West Wing, East Wing, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building âthe former State Department, which now houses offices for the President's staff and the Vice Presidentâand Blair House, a guest residence.
