voices enable an audience to understand the different perspectives of how a speak may deal with certain things or situation. The distinctive voice of the speaker is able to guide the audience about the values of that speaker. The poem ‘public places’ is about an individual who is afraid of what technology can do as it is improving and how it may be able to steal peoples’ thoughts and daydreams that have been left behind in public places be publicly available. The poem is started of with a very direct and distinctive voice about the consequences that the reader has faced, “since i’ve had my neck in a brace” due to paranoid habit of always looking over their shoulder to see if anything’s been left behind while out. The speaker’s paranoid obsession over the problem is shown through cumulative listing and the long sentence which contained no pauses showing the urgency of the speaking wanting the audience to know what the speaker felt like, “i couldn’t move from room to room without turning around to check that i hadn’t left anything there a tissue a hair a biscuit crumb a toe a finger an odour a desire a thought. well, you can imagine the wear and tear on my neck you only get one of them.” The speakers tone shifts from humours to a more serious tone as the speaker goes into more depth about abstract parts that may be left in public places, “you leave your fingerprints on a lot of the products on the shelves when you go to the supermarket ... what science can extract from a fingerprint these days is nobody’s business.” The main idea being conveyed is how the in the speakers point of view that in modern days everything is being monitored and how advances in technology will only make things worse, “what if they decided to electronically print everyone’s personal details on their bodies ... and what if they made a mistake with the information. you never know whose history you could end up wearing.”

These two texts both depict voices portrayed by individuals which depicted different perspectives of problems arising around them.
