Voice Column

This column was about different writing techniques and tips on how to have style, flair, personality, and more. The writer uses a lot of figurative language in their column, like when he/she says, "A columnist has successfully created a voice when strangers in a supermarket say, 'I feel like I know you.'" Or when the writer says, "Occasionally, drops of wisdom spatter down like rain, and if you keep an ear cocked, you might catch some." I could pick out even more figurative language that the writer uses all throughout his/her column. Another thing that the writer does a lot, is when he/she lists off popular well known people. "For example, Thomas Friedman's foreign policy columns . . ." . "Mary McCarty pens a . . ." . "Shakespeare, Margaret Atwood, or Ton Morrison." There is so much things that the writer does a lot of but you can tell that he/she takes a lot of time and effort in his/her writing when they are using their own tips in the column as they explain what makes a good writer.
