 Today, I will read and respond to “ On a Rainy River” by analyzing the components of the author’s voice and justify this analysis in a paragraph.

Listen, Watch, and Respond  Listen and watch the clip from “The Voice.” Discuss the questions with your neighbor. 1. How do the judges pick somebody for their team? 2. What are they looking for? 3. Why is the show called “The Voice”? The Voice

Listen, Watch, and Respond  Writing has voice, too.  Discuss with your neighbor what you think voice in writing is.  Write your predictions down

Voice  The writer’s style  It makes the writer’s work unique

Voice  One of the most important elements of a piece of writing.  Determines the reader's experience with a work of literature

Relate it back to music  "Only Girl" 1 "Only Girl" 1  "Only Girl" 2 "Only Girl" 2 Is it the singer’s style? Is it unique to the singer? Does it determine the experience of the listener?

Transportation  It puts the reader in a certain frame of mind  Allows the reader to see the world from someone else’s perspective  Provides the character of the world, not just details How the world “feels”

Voice Components  Style  Consistency  Transportation  Authority  Authenticity

Authority  The AUTHOR is the AUTHORity  Ha! Miss, you’re so funny! Verbal Irony

Narrative Voice  The mode from which the author chooses to tell the story

Five Types of Narrative Voice  Stream-of- consciousness voice  Character Voice  Unreliable Voice  Epistolary Voice  Third-Person Voice

Stream-of- Consciousness  Gives the narrator’s perspective by attempting to replicate the thought process of the narrator.

Koolaids: The Art of War

Character Voice  A realistic, relatable character within the story  May or may not be involved in the events in the story  May not be the main character of the story

Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life

Unreliable Voice  The narrator is untrustworthy  Used by the author to reveal that the narrator (often a character in the story) is: Unstable Biased Immature

Holden, Catcher in the Rye  If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

Epistolary Voice  Uses a series of letters to convey the plot of the story

Dear America: The Voyage on the Great Titanic Monday, 15 April 1912 My hands are shaking, I feel hot tears struggling against my eyes, and I have no idea where to begin. I120feel a driving need to tell everything properly, exactly as it happened, but my mind is cluttered with con- fusion, and exhaustion, and despair. And grief; I am overcome by grief. The Boat Deck. I will go back to the Boat Deck, and follow the evening through from there. Or — no, the story begins earlier, so that is where I will start.
