Voice is the style that makes an authors writing his or her own, a unique quality that characterizes speech and thought pattern, a visible aspect of one’s character that may or may not impress others. Personality is a characteristic that defines or molds an individual; however, personality in writing becomes its own separate character based on the writer. Through a persons writing you are able to understand his thoughts, concerns or ideas of that particular person but you do not become fully aware of that persons complete personality, the quality or condition that helps complete a person. Depending on the type of writing the writer develops a certain characteristic to form an argument choosing to write in a certain style in which the piece may best fit and suite that particular type of writing. The next two paragraphs are an imitation of a passage from Frankfurt’s, “On Truth,” by keeping the same idea of Frankfurt the style of the piece changes but the content remains the same.
When a person apprehends in an emotion through their senses or mind they discover an underlining effect -- which is, when a person encounters a person or object in which they trigger bodily changes and motivate joyful behavior; Spinoza believes that the person becomes incapable of avoiding love for that particular person or object. He believes this to be the effect of love; the response(s) given to the person or object that causes happiness. Based on his understanding, a person cannot ignore his/her affection towards an object that causes happiness and joy. This emotion is a positive affective aspect of consciousness and the cause for a person to persevere life and become more aware of themselves. There are several specific instances in which a person notices a degree of controlled thought or observation, somewhat more radical, Spinoza’s definition of love: people tend to serve affection in order to attain who they are, to uncover a self discovery, and to take on a successful life without interfering or disrupting their primary characteristics.

On Spinoza’s belief of the eternal possibility of love, he makes recognition of another possibility that seems to be free from error. The strong affection and devotion a person expresses towards a person or object become the most highly cherished. These objects become the most evident and the most easily understood and become a possession that continues to be beneficial and pleasurable.
After completing this exercise the idea of voice remains to be a concentration of style. While doing the imitation of Frankfurt it sometimes became hard to ignore his style of choice but, I find it easier to choose style over content. If content is the substance and focus of a paper then it only becomes the subject matter of thought, discourse or study; by determining its shape and appearance, the paper develops form which is, the manner or style of arranging and coordinating ideas for a satisfied and effective result. In achieving this structure and organization of ideas, the writers main focus is on his style of writing; developing a particular, distinctive characteristic of mode and technique and processing an orderly, logical and systematic way of presentation.
