The flexibility of voice implies the ability to not only see another's perspective, but to explain, give light to, and illustrate that perspective to other people.
The more perspectives one can see, the better able one is to understand a situation as whole, not broken into me vs. the other. The more perspectives one sees, or flexible one becomes, the situation changes from me vs. the other, eventually eliminating the other (because one then becomes the other). The more voices one can give voice to, the better able one is able to understand different perspectives and reason differently.
Taylor is influenced by the writing implement she uses. The different colors she uses are different sections of her thoughts-- a pretty way to organize them! I don't think she is more or less expressive as a result of the physical constraints of the crayoned page. I think Taylor expresses her thoughts clearly, to as much of the extent her words will let her. This writing is good! I know this is good because she and I seemed to have very similar thoughts on why Smith's statement in true...but I feel as if she hit the nail more than I did. For some reason I couldn't think of the right words to use as I was writing my opinion but it was as if Taylor thought of the right words to use for both her and my opinion.
