Voice

In your opinion, what is voice in literature?
Voice is literature is how somebody chooses to write, such as with word choice, tone, syntax, etc.

How does a person create voice when writing? Is creating voice an intentional/unintentional act? Is it both? Explain.
A person can create voice by choosing certain word, the sentence structure of the sentences, and the approach of a topic. Creating voice is both intentional and intentional because a writer may unconsciously choose to write how he or she speaks. However, if the chooses to write in a different voice, such as in Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, it is an intentional act.

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 she approaches/handles a topic?
They do this because it is culture. We are able to learn the upbringing and background of a writer the way he/she approaches or handles a topic.

Whether it is in fiction or nonfiction, why is voice important in writing?
It is important because it gives the writing a deeper meaning as well as character.
