Introduction

The definition of voice is the sound or sounds uttered through the mouth of living creatures such as human beings in speaking, shouting, and singing. According to English literacy writers there is a totally different meaning of voice. Voice can be displayed in tone and writing. In the eyes of writers people have their own voice. The world is made up of many different ethnic backgrounds and cultures and each individual has their own perception of voice. In the eyes of English literacy researchers voice is socially constructed. So what I am trying to find out is voice original or is it socially constructed.

Being that many people are from different discourses many people have many different opinions on voice. When you come from a different background you may feel strongly about a certain topic and have that come across in your writing.  I believe that makes a person a more effective writer. As for the person I interviewed so does not let voice influence her.

C- I do not let society voice me, I have my own voice and I use it when I want. Using your voice at certain times is more important than just using it all the time. Voice is controlled by what you say and you need to make sure what your addressing is important. The sound that is produced when a person speaks is all different. Everyone sounds differently when they speak. Some people get teachers to voice their opinions about certain subjects they may be interested in.

I interpreted this as; she is original amongst her society. I know this because she has her own style and the way she dresses. Even though she has a twin she portrays uniqueness and when I am around both c and her sister they do not dress alike like most twins.  She believes she has her own voice and she will use it whenever she wants to. Whenever she displays her voice it will be meaningful and consistency matters. As long as you make your voice heard the first go- round, voicing your voice several times do not matter according to c. C stated even though voice is original it may be important and beneficial to get teachers to voice their own opinions. For example, when a student write a paper and the teacher do give any feedback to their students then the students will not be able to improve on their next paper. The teacher and student may not necessarily agree on the comments that their teachers has voiced because everyone has their own different views and backgrounds on certain topics but the student should take the criticism to help strengthen their voice.
