Voice in literature is a way for the author to express his/her personality or opinion with out bluntly saying what it is. The author expresses his/her voice through the tone and word choice. The way a person decides to talk about a subject and the stance he/she takes on it is the writer's voice. Creating voice can be both intentional and unintentional because people do not change how he/she form his/her sentences and the way in which the paper is written. No on writes the same which makes voice unintentional. Voice is intentional in the aspect of the opinions and word choice of a piece. People from Eastern Kentucky talk around the subject because they want to be nice and not directly ask for something. It is a form of southern hospitality.The reader can learn about the author's background and personality based on his/her voice. The reader can connect more with the writer and understand where he/she is coming from with his/her opinion, and the readers can also trust the author if he/she sounds more academic and grammatically correct.
