Video Response Blog #3

View clip from American Tongues. What is voice in literature? How does a person create his/her voice when writing? Is creating voice an intentional or unintentional act...or both? Explain your answer. Many people in Eastern Kentucky talk around a subject. According to the speaker why do they do this? What can we learn about a writer from the way he/she approaches a topic? Whether it is fiction or non-fiction, why is voice important in writing?
Voice in literature is how the author speaks, causing you to learn more about the author and his/herself. A person can create voice through punctuation and word choice. It is an unintentional act because, its the writer him or herself, it isn't the tone.
They do this to avoid the matter at hand. We can tell if a writer wants to talk about something or its necessary by the presentation of it. Voice is important to writing because it shows who the author is and helps you understand where they are coming from.
