Final Blog Post Questions

1.    What specific words/phrases demonstrate your writer’s voice? How do these words/phrases showcase your personality as a writer?

            My writing voice is sometimes kind of sarcastic. “Hannah, Aria, Spencer, and Emily are just getting over the fact that their best friend had been slaughtered. They try to ignore it and avoid the topic, but somehow it always comes up,” I wrote on my most recent blog post. It is kind of hard to avoid the topic when someone had just been murdered, so it shows some irony.

 

 

 

 

2.  What purposeful diction AND syntax choices did you make to enhance your writer’s voice? You must choose to discuss at least one diction AND one syntax technique from the list below. Make sure to include textual evidence from your post where you included the diction and syntax choices you discuss.

My diction is low/informal mostly. “Hannah, Aria, Spencer, and Emily are just getting over the fact that their best friend had been slaughtered,” I wrote. Instead of killed, I used slaughtered so enhance the gruesome death Alison had.

The syntax is use is mostly medium length sentences because I am usually informing the reader of what is happening in the story. I usually just use periods, but I would like to work on asking more questions to make the reader think a bit.
