a polyphony of voices

Emily and I were talking, and I asked her, “why can’t the ideas in my head do the work for me?” and she replied that that would be an awesome comic, where ideas were like dogs or slaves that did the work for you. And then, I said, maybe it’s a good paper idea, where the ideas work for you, because really, when we’re talking about voices, we have multiple voices, and wasn’t is Sommers who discussed that, how we’re talking with other voices in our heads. Maybe that’s where I’ll start, that’s where this paper is going, toward this “how does a writer deal with a polyphony of voices? how does a freshmen composition student chose which voice(s) to use in a paper?”
