Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, an

d answer the question that follows:
Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open—and the hardest to close. For a character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered.

The ancients [people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit. If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader.

Which phrase explicitly states the author's attitude about voice?

It is the trickiest door to open.
The ancients invented it.
Only the writer hears it.
The reader will always hear it.

Answer: It is the trickiest door to open.

Explanation:

We can infer from the text that the author here believes that the voice of a character is very challenging to hear from the phrase about it being the trickiest door to open and the hardest to close. This is therefore the author's opinion about voice.

The second option could not be the answer because they used anima not voice. The third and fourth options are incorrect as well because the writer can hear the voice but the reader does not always hear the voice as they only hear it if the writer does.

One time I was walking through the woods. Not just any woods, but woods that exemplify the definition of ethereal. I wanted to laugh. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. It was just me. I walked for what seemed like a lifetime only to rest under what seemed like a never ending stair of daunting oaks looking down upon me. I pondered the virtues that humans hold so dear. I pondered the true meaning of life. I pondered what it means to be human. In the end, I found that nothing is nothing and everything is everything. We aren’t here for any exact reason, rather, we’re here for no reason at all. If I was to dictate the feeling I felt at that moment, perhaps I would explain it as an epiphany as to the true nature of existence. We are here to enjoy life. Humans too often think of what is outside of our planet, our solar system, our galaxy. But what I found most interesting, is that we truly don’t know what it is that makes us human, not an animal, but human. We have evolved to expand beyond mother nature’s beautifully designed ecosystems in order to form our own “ecosystem”. Is it our language, our notions of society, our cultures, or is it even our mastery of enviromental manipulation that makes us human? For, I do not have an answer to any of these questions. What I do know is that life isn’t about answering these questions, rather enjoying what is dear to oneself. (Sorry this is only 1 free write but I saw this question and felt like writing something ‍♂️)

When would a writer most likely use a fast pace?
Taya2010 [7]
To show that time has passed

- describing an important event doesn’t make sense because it’s important they wouldn’t want to rush through it
- introducing a character doesn’t make sense because getting to know a character helps to build your story
- creating a calm feeling doesn’t make sense because calm is usually associated with slow pace

Character Traits for Burris Ewell in To Kill A Mockingbird?
liq [111]
First off, I LOVE THAT BOOK! Its a classic (':, and secondly, some characteristics of Burris were that he was, in the beginning of the story, awful and dirty and mean to Scout, but as the story progressed, scout found out that his family was super poor, so he was only bitter because of that. Hope you find that useful,feel free to mark as brainliest, and good luck! :P
