There are many examples that she has given emphasized on multi voice. Multi voice can have many positive outcomes such as our President Obama, he can relate to many different people and reach out a variety of people. A quote "We feel that our voices are who we are, and that to have more than one, or to use different versions of a voice for a different occasions, represents, at best, a Janus-faced duplicity, and at worst, the loss of our very souls"(1). What a strong quote that is and i feel that she is trying to say is that having a double voice is a great ability to have and at the same time be who you are.
Going on with multi voice comes flexibility. Being able to be flexible to switching voices and having that commitment that things will change and it will be okay. It takes a lot of skill to have this kind of flexibly. I think Smith was trying to be open minded about things and have that flexibly in hand.
Understanding was mentioned in this essay, i feel the if you the key to understand someone then you can relate to them and image what they are feeling. I feel that Smith was saying that in the quote "We now know that Obama spoke of Main Street in Iowa and of sweet potato pie in Northwest Philly, and it could be augured that he succeeded because he so rarely misspoke, carefully tailoring his intonations to suit the sensibility of his listeners." I feel that he has a good understanding and communicating with someone. Lastly, I feel that Smith may be trying to let people aware of what the importance is to have these key terms such as multi voice, flexibility and duplicity and not everyone has this great gift.
