Literary Voice: the individual style in which an author writes:
Point of View Tone Diction

Point of View: mode of narration
First person (the “I” voice): Narrator is one of the characters in the story. We only learn this narrator’s thoughts and feelings about events. The narration is not objective and or always reliable, but readers tend to identify more with this character. Third person (the “he/she/it” voice): Omniscient: mystery narrator knows everything and can offer insight into the thoughts and feelings of all characters. Limited: narrator knows everything about one character. Objective (the “he/she/it” voice): Narration is limited to describing events and provides no insight into the thoughts and feelings of characters.

Tone: writer’s attitude toward subject.
Tone: writer’s attitude toward subject. Is he serious, sarcastic or playful? How does the writer feel about his subject?

Post It: Identify one adjective to describe tone of the following poems.
“Little Sister” by Nikki Grimes (excerpt) little sister holds on tight. My hands hurt from all that squeezing, but I don’t mind. She thinks no one will bother her when I’m around, and they won’t if I can help it… “Still I Rise” By Maya Angelou (excerpt) You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise…

Diction: choice of words
Choice of words influences tone -formal / informal Example 1 : We cordially invite you to the Year 12 formal. Example 2 : Hey buddy! Wanna go to the dance?

For a narrative, informal language can be used:
Appropriate: This dude comes up to me in gym and says that he’s gonna make my life miserable. Inappropriate: This young teen approached me in physical education class and threatened to make my life unpleasant.

For a research paper, only formal language is appropriate:
Appropriate: Malaria is an infectious disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes. Inappropriate: Malaria is this thing you catch when a bug bites you.

For a persuasive piece, use formal language
Appropriate: In addition, we cannot add any personal style to uniforms through unique accessories such as leggings, socks or shoes. Inappropriate: Oh yeah, one more thing. With uniforms, we can’t even do anything to them, and yes, I said any thing, to them.

Voice Point of view: first, second, third Diction: word choice Tone
After listening to first two paragraphs, how would you describe Ponyboy’s voice?

WHEN I STEPPED OUT into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman--- he looks tough and I don't--- but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. I have light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes. I wish they were more gray, because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have. My hair is longer than a lot of boys wear theirs, squared off in back and long at the front and sides, but I am a greaser and most of my neighborhood rarely bothers to get a haircut. Besides, I look better with long hair. I had a long walk home and no company, but I usually lone it anyway, for no reason except that I like to watch movies undisturbed so I can get into them and live them with the actors. When I see a movie with someone it's kind of uncomfortable, like having someone read your book over your shoulder. I'm different that way. I mean, my second oldest brother, Soda, who is sixteen-going-on-seventeen, never cracks a book at all, and my oldest brother, Darrel, who we call Darry, works too long and hard to be interested in a story or drawing a picture, so I'm not like them. And nobody in our gang digs movies and books the way I do. For a while there, I thought I was the only person in the world that did. So I loned it.

But all the time I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s, And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So boy, don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps ‘Cause you finds it’s kinder hard. Don’t you fall now- For I’se still goin’ honey, I’se still climbin, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes Well, son, I’ll tell you. Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor- Bare.
