Literary Device, Author's Voice, is an author's individual writing style. It is a combination of diction, punctuation, character development, dialogue, etc., within a given body of text. There are many examples of how the author's voice affects the meaning of a text in the classic book Night, a book about the life and thoughts of a young Jewish boy going through the Holocaust, as well as in "A Spring Morning", a short story about the results of having a child while Germany controls Poland. These examples include: when the author is doing foreshadowing, when the author is writing about someone being told to obey, and when the author is writing about the death of a loved one. The first time I noticed how the author's voice affected the meaning of the text. this is when an author uses foreshadowing. This happens in Chapter 1 of Night: “Well, there you are, you see!” What did we tell you? You wouldn't believe us. There they are, your Germans! What do you think of them? Where is their famous cruelty” (Wiesel 7)? This is a great example of how the meaning of the text is affected by the author's voice. The author uses rhetorical questions, questions asked solely for effect or to make a statement and not to elicit an answer. He also uses foreshadowing (to show or indicate in advance) to give us an idea of ​​the meaning of the text. The meaning of the text in the quote is to show how Sighet's optimists believed that the Germans were good and how they presented it to people who thought the Germans were evil and sinister. It’s also to give us an idea of ​​what the future holds. Another example of how the author's voice affects the meaning of a text when using foreshadowing is found in the first paragraph of "An S...... in the Middle of a Sheet ......g far. He moved slowly and these few steps seemed endless. He bent down, picked up the child, stroked the tangle of blond hair” (Fink 61). The author made the text slow, which caused the meaning of the text to hit us deeper and openly show us how cruel and evil people can be. The reaction to death is sadness, which is very different from Elijah's reaction to his father's death, which is relief. The literary device, the author's voice, affects the meaning of a text in almost everything you read. This is especially true for the classic book Night as well as the short story “A Spring Morning.” Here are some examples of when the text is affected by the author's voice: when the author foreshadows, when the author writes about someone being told to obey what another person says, and when the author writes about the death of a loved one..
