OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say explicit-which is a big explanation about something. It includes a lot of details in it. :)

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron and answer the question that follows: Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home. As I listened to that owl's resonant [echoing] call in the pre-dawn hours one morning, something about it gave me a whole new cadence [rhythm], a whole new sound. And then, a whole new voice. In this paragraph, what is the author's explicit message about his inspiration for Merlin's voice? He had difficulty finding Merlin's voice. His inspiration was the owl outside his window. His old ideas were not working for Merlin's voice. He spent a lot of time thinking about Merlin's voice.

I think it's be B, his inspiration was hearing the owl.

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

im sorry im making you do this but i really do not know the answers :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say that one would be that-it is the trickiest door to open.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. My own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, and John Muir long before I ever dipped into Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, E. B. White, or J.R.R. Tolkien. My early writings were really nature journals; at nine, I wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (It was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) So it should come as no surprise that I view place as much more than just a setting for a story. It is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form. The author writes that he "wrote a complete biography—of a tree." What message is implied about the tree with this statement? The author couldn't think of any other subject for a biography. The author didn't think a partial biography was enough. The author didn't want to speak for the tree. The author believed the tree had a life story, like a person.
