hmm, as the module is based on `experience through language`, it is random i reckon.
anyways, on the sylabus it mentions that students `cosider various types and functions of voices in texts. They explore the ways language is used to create voices in texts, and how this use of language affects interpretation and shapes meaning.`

yes, it sounds stupid, but from my class, ive kind of narrowed it down to when choosing orts, ensure they are linked to your set text through its `distincitive voice`.
seems kinda hard linking voices that will try to give off views on different things, but maybe the techniques could be similar..

idk though, itll all be dependant on the exam question wont it?
