Literary Voice

Literary voice is the perspective that the story is told.  Illustrations are not always from the author's point of view.  Sometimes stories are told in the:
First Person (one person or a group of people as one person) the I, me, mine, he, hers, she, ours or we.
Second Person you and yours and is rarely seen
Third Person (the fly on the wall)  Omniscient point of view.  The Authors' voice narrates the story.
Other important points are:
Style:  Details or Direction and Syntax or Images used to paint a picture and tell a story.
Tone:  Gives characters attitude.  Shows emotions of characters.
Dialogue:  1.  Monologue:  One person gives a long speech.
                  2.  Soliloquy:  One person alone on stage.
                  3.  Side:  Statement made to the audience alone and the rest of the characters are not supposed to hear what is said.
Setting:  Time or Place things happen in the story.  Setting can be realistic or Abstract
