2 Vocabulary Voice: has two meanings as it concerns creative writers:
Voice is the author’s style, the quality that makes his or her writing unique, and which conveys the author’s attitude, personality, and character; or… Voice is the characteristic speech and thought patterns of a first person narrator; a persona. Because voice has so much to do with the reader’s experience of a work of literature, it is one of the most important elements of a piece of writing.

3 Author’s purpose: The reason an author decides to write about a specific topic. Then, once a topic is selected, the author must decide whether his purpose for writing is to inform, persuade, entertain, or explain his ideas to the reader. Native American Literature – The dates for this period are very unclear because we have absolutely no idea when they started. Much of that literature of that period were myths. Of the oral tradition of story telling. Focus on nature and creation. Myth: a story about superhuman beings of an earlier age taken by preliterate society to be a true account, usually of how natural phenomena, social customs, etc, came into existence (root word)

4 Vocabulary Close reading is the careful, sustained interpretation of a text. Such a reading places great emphasis on the particular over the general, paying close attention to individual words, syntax, and the order in which sentences and ideas unfold as they are read. Annotate means: to supply with critical or explanatory notes; comment upon in notes
