1) Voice in literature is how one writes. For example, a writer or speaker may beat around the bush, or go straight to the point. I person creates voice in writing by having a certain sentence structure they may prefer to use, vocabulary they use often and/or the same opinion. The creation of voice in literature is sometimes intentional and other times not. I believe if depends on the author. I don’t intentionally have a voice in writing, I just do. I believe other, professional writer, do have a certain voice intentionally.
2) A subject I may beat around bush with may be a question I am nervous to know the answer to. For example, if I wanted to ask someone a personal question, or one that I was nervous to know the answer to, I would likely beat around the bush.
3) Voice is important in non-fiction because it shows who the writer is. An author’s voice can help to prove a writers point, or help the writer gain readers.
4) There are definitely things to be avoided when writing an academic essay. One thing to avoid is using I in a persuasive essay. If a writer can find a different way to word a sentence where I is not being used, it would help to prove the point. This is true, because “I” makes it so the writer is saying I (one single person) believes something. If a different word was used what the writer is trying becomes more universal.
5) You can improve your voice by improving your vocabulary, and knowledge of how to write.
