American Tongues

1. In my opinion, voice in literature is when the writer's personality is portrayed throughout their writing. If someone has a strong voice in their writing, the reader should be able to identify it and recognize it in other works.
2. A person creates his voice when writing by using words that he would use in his everyday life that can convey his personality. If he is a nice, warm person, he would be considerate in his writing and show those traits through the language he uses. I think creating voice is more unintentional. I think that a writer will naturally incorporate his personality in his writing even is he does not mean to.
3. According to the speaker, many people talk around a subject because it is the way that they have always done it and it is how they were taught to speak. We can tell how much confidence a writer has by the way he approaches a topic. If he is straightforward and jumps into the topic, that shows that he is confident with what he has to say.
4. Voice is important in writing because it can show the reader who the writer is without directly telling them in the writing. Readers can draw out information and clues about the personality of the writer and how they are as a person.
