Answer:

Depending on the text. These are two I got on a test trying to find help on some of these answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Wild Things by Dave Eggers

- The perspective of the storyteller is a third person limited through the eyes of Max. The excerpt is written in the voice of this young boy so the reader can see the world through his eyes, he enjoys wrestling with the dog and misses his sister. The choice of the narrator also restricts the reader's understanding of Max's perspective. The reader sees his sister through his perspective, yet regarding Claire's thought process, the reader doesn't have any idea. Consequently, the reader must carefully examine Max's words to avoid a distorted portrayal of Max's irritated sister and ensure that the story's events are presented in their entirety.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

- The voice of the entry is relaxed and careless with genuine and real problems. This entry demonstrates that the author favors rather than downplays the circumstances and does not end his life's obstacles too sincerely. As for credibility, his brazen tone impacts the reader to consider whether or not what he's saying truly occurred. By making the narrative more entertaining than depressing, it influences the portrayal. It impacts the acceptability because of how he is exaggerating for influence subsequently as I might want to think it makes the substance somewhat less dependable.

#1) How does the voice affect the characterization and credibility of the text?

Answer: The way that the voice affect the characterization of the text is by giving the story a humorous tone. Also it affects the credibility of the text by overreacting and exaggerating which as a result makes the text not much credible.

I hope it helps, Regards.
