Tell me how you write and I 'll tell you who you are

The best way to know a person is to read one of his works; it could be a story, an essay, among others. The reason is that each author has his own voice, which is the way he narrates the story, and his own perspective in one topic or idea.  The voice of the author is unique and makes him different form the others, for example when you read a sentence or a paragraph you can think in one specific author because of the manner the paragraph is written.

During my English class, we make an activity that consisted in listening to a classical song and write whatever came to your mind, it could be a poem, a song or a story.  After writing, the teacher read some of the works and you can realize about the authors point of view and their voice. For example the theme of love was treated by many students, but they were different. While one was talking about love like a fairytale and all happiness of being in love other was talking about deception and dissolve.  Many of the stories my classmates wrote, where based in their experiences or in the movies they have seen or in the books they liked.

Finally, the knowledge that I acquire in this activity was that each person have his own personality in their writing. A writer will always write in the way he wants to read a story. For example the way I write is informal, like if I were talking to the reader in person, and that most of the time I make a long story or join some aspects in a story. When I read a story I like that the author describe it to my like if he was there, like if it was a movie. Another thing that I discovered in this activity was that the writing in some ways reflects the emotional situation of the writer. As conclusion you can learn many things about a person by reading their ideas because they are a reflection of their personality, ideas and behavior.
