The story, Hero, from "Fiction On Web.com"is done by a narrative form. I like how the voice was, because it makes me feel like I am actually listening to him speaking to me about his story.
The story told by an obese narrator. He is like the loser in the town and people just hates him. One day, another obese guy, who is a lot bigger than the narrator, moved into the town. Ironically the other people liked him. While reading the story you would see that the narrator really is a loser. He is just a poor guy, who is fat, ugly, and has no friends.
The author has done a great job by addressing how the narrator thinks and feels. I could almost feel exactly how the narrator felt when I was reading his story. His casual way of speaking allows me to understand what kind of person he is, the jealousy he had, and the anger he felt.
Voices of stories are very important. It not only makes the story unique and interesting but also makes you to be able to familiarize with the characters and the story setting. I don't like to read things that are written as if it were a documentary or a text book. The story is dead if there is no voice.

Very true. The voice gives depth and connects the various parts of the story.
