1. Look for 3 sections/stories within your data that seem important to your focus.
1. The first main focus that seem to be important is that I believe that voice is a mixture of both being socially constructed and a person having their own voice. The person i interviewed believes that voice is not socially constructed and you have your own voice.
2. Because people experience different things in life may vary on their impact on voice. I believe that because you are a certain background, you may have a stronger voice about something more than the other. The person i interviewed believes that being the fact that she comes from a different background doesnt effect her voice but it helps her communicate easier. 
3. Depending on a person's mood or how they feel about the topic can effect how they interpet voice.  

2. Cut and paste them into a document and analyze them in some detial: ask what this section/story shows with respect to your focus? Look at:

17. What type of tone do you use in your writing voice and spoken voice?

 My tone is average I speak to people In an orderly way and my voice is never low unless people are studying around me and I am with a friend my pitch would be low. My writing voice is low also because when I write I do like to talk to myself, for instance I like to read what I write out loud because I feel like that helps me more than reading it low to myself. This is why I like doing papers at home because I get to speak to myself when I am writing which helps me think in a more clearer way.

I don't think a pitch of a voice matters when it comes to writing voice. In writing a person can have a stronger voice  because how the words are portrayed in the passage. My spoken voice is more of a soft spoken tone but in writing my tone is more stronger because i want to make sure my reader's understand what I am trying to get across.

3. Analyze each section of data in terms of: Content (what it says) Form ( how the way language is used presents a feeling/information/other keys to what is going on)

Depending on a certain audience depends on the tone of voice. The audience language is adjusted to the certain type of audience they are speaking or writing to.

4. After you have made a list of what is going on in the chosen section(like we did in class) do the following· State what the data shows · Identify quotes from the data that illustrate the points you want to make

Peter elbow believes that voice is socially constructed meaning that nothing we do is original. For example writing when you get ideas from other sources that is not having your own voice. For example the lastest fashion are not original because it was already done years ago such as afro's and bell bottom jeans. People are wearing their batural hair more because it is beautiful but back in the day that was ugly and straight hair was in.

5. Look back at your data for other sections/stories that show or illustrate similar or related informtaion=> analyze them in terms of what you found in the third step (above). Add any new names/points to your list of what that section "shows".

 

Another point that i am trying to make is why is there such a controversary about voice. There will never be a right or wrong answer for that.
