Speaker

Definition: The person that is telling the story/poem. Usually unknown.

Example: The speaker of the assembly was Dr. Martin, who told us the rules of the school.

               “You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
And live like it's heaven on earth.” 

-William W. Purkey


The speaker is William W. Purkey

Significance: Knowing who the speaker is helps readers know what the setting is like. Speakers allows readers to know the tone of the story and how to read it. Not knowing the speaker would not have students know the tone of the story.



Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like there's nobody listening,
