"A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together." ~Margaret Atwood
I think that this means that someone's voice is their power. With a voice you have the power to speak up for what you believe in. Words are powerful and so is the emotions that you can put into those words. Silence is the same as being powerless. You can't speak up and say what you need to. This quote also means that you should cherish your voice and protect it. But as well as you should always use it to speak up for those whose who may not have a voice to speak up with.
Margaret Atwood uses her voice as much as she possibly can. But in her case its through her writing. Margaret Atwood is a very popular author and poet. She has inspired people with her work. This is a perfect example of this quote. Instead of being powerless, she uses her words to reach out to others to encourage them to not be silent or powerless, and that our words are gifts..........
