"Here Follow Some Verses Upon the Burning of Our House, July 10th, 1666 relates the speaker's feelings about losing a home and belongings. Over the
course of the poem a distinctive voice emerges. Voice refers to the poet's
unique use of language that enables a reader to perceive the writer's feelings,
attitudes, and personality. To determine a writer's voice, think about:
• Diction: What words did the writer choose? What images stand out?"
. Tone: What is the writer's attitude on the subject?
• Structure: How long are lines and stanzas? How does this impact meaning?

In a 10-12 sentence response-style paragraph, explore the degree to which you agree or disagree with faulkner’s message. “i believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. he is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. the poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. it is his privilege to man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. the poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to him endure and prevail” (faulkner 773-775).
