What is Voice? It is the writer’s special use of language in a story that includes diction and tone.
1) Diction: The kinds of words a writer chooses. It can be formal, informal, poetic, plain, etc..
2) Tone: Is the attitude a writer takes toward the audience, a subject or character. It is conveyed through the writer’s choice of words. It can be humorous, sad, or friendly, etc…
Remember The Secret Lion:
What happened was there were teachers now, not just one teacher, teach-erz, and we felt personally abandoned somehow. When a person had all these teachers now, he didn’t get taken care of the same way, even though six was more than one. Arithmetic went out the door when we walked in. And we saw girls now, but they weren’t the same girls that we used to know because we couldn’t talk to them anymore, not the same way we used to, certainly not to Sandy, even though she was my neighbor too. Not even to her. She just played the piano all the time. And there were words, oh there were words in junior high school, and we wanted to know what they were, and how a person did them---that’s what school was supposed to be for. Only, in junior high school, school wasn’t school, everything was backwardlike.
