19.13: A Close Reading on Voice: Blue's Perspective - Confidence and Vulnerability
On our third episode diving into Voice through the novella \u201cThis Is How You Lose The Time War,\u201d we begin to explore the different voices that make up the two main characters in the story. Last episode we dove into Red\u2019s voice\u2013 if you haven\u2019t already, we recommend you listen to that first!\xa0
Today, we are doing a close read of Blue at the tea shop and how voice establishes character, growth, and vulnerability. How do the authors make Blue\u2019s voice distinct from Red\u2019s? Is it in the tone, the structure, or something else completely?\xa0

Homework: Write a short note from one of your characters to another about something important to them. Now rewrite it as a text message (change the format), as a letter that will be screened before it gets to them by an outsider (change the context), and as a final message they will get to send (change the stakes).
