Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open-and the hardest to close. For a character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered.

The ancients [people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath-the voice-of a character lies its essential spirit. If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader.

The author writes, "If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader." What type of statement is this?
