3. Talking about Voice
Voice—a writer’s (or speaker’s) distinctive use of language to express his or her ideas as well as persona. Tone + Diction + Syntax + Imagery = Voice
Tone—a writer’s or speaker’s attitude toward the subject. Tone is conveyed through the person’s choice of words and detail. Tone is easier to figure out when someone is speaking versus written text.
Diction—Word choice intended to convey a certain effect.
Syntax—Sentence structure; the arrangement of words and the order of grammatical elements in a sentence.
Imagery—The words or phrases, including specific details and figurative language, that a writer uses to represent persons, objects, actions, feelings, and ideas descriptively by appealing to the senses.

“I dive into the stream of fourth-period lunch students and swim down the hall to the cafeteria.” (Paragraph 1).
This image of a stream and swimming through the hallways suggests that the students are moving very quickly in the halls and it is easy to get caught in the “swift current”.
“The hot lunch is turkey with reconstituted dried mashed potatoes and gravy, a damp green vegetable, and a cookie.” (Paragraph 3)
It’s obvious the speaker is not a fan of her lunch based on the diction she uses: “reconstituted, damp.” This sounds like your typical, gross school lunch.
“I follow the Basketball Pole into the cafeteria.” (Paragraph 3)
The narrator is annoyed that the senior gets better food than she does. She suggests that since he is older and is an athlete that he must get special privileges. She seems annoyed by this.
