Reflecting on my Voice Blog

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

 

1. “What's up guys!” “I'm back with another dope blogger post.” “It's always better to be risky because you never know what people might think.” “See you next week with another blogger coming at you!”  All of these specific words/phrases convey my unique personality as a writer by using some slang.  I also gave my own opinion and tried to connect with the audience so they feel like they are actually talking to me or listening to me when they read this.

 

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.

1. “I'm back with another dope blogger post.”  This diction quote enhanced my writer’s voice because I used low/informal diction and you can tell if you knew me I don’t use the best vocabulary.  The low/informal diction was “dope” and I used it in a way that would make it slang.  “What's that you ask?”  This syntax quote enhanced my writer’s voice because I used a rhetorical question and it helps the readers feel like they are talking to me.

Suspense

The response I'm responding to is how the author built suspense and was it effective.  The author built suspense in Mockingjay by at the end when Peeta and Katniss got married, it doesn't give much information about what happens with them.  Also it doesn't give much information about how the districts and the capitol function.  It also doesn't say like if district 12 is still the least rich and not enough food.  It also says that Gale disappears into another district and you don't hear anything else about him.

It was definitely effective but I didn't enjoy the way she left the book so suspenseful and unfinished without making a different book.  It was kind of like they just lived happily ever after like a fairy tale.  A week after I have finished my book I was still thinking about the way the book ended and how angry it made me.  I wish the author would've had an ending that didn't have suspense.  I especially wanted her to do this because I usually don't read books and since I put in a lot of time into these books I want a better ending than the one she made.

Mockingjay Post #2 best part/worst part of my book

In the next part I read in Mockingjay district 13 bombed by the capitol, the capitol isn't completely sure that district 13 is there though.  After district 13 gets the all clear to go back to normal Katniss makes another commercial.  During this time the rebels attempt to rescue Peeta and it is a success.  Once Peeta gets to district 13 he meets with Katniss and attacks her. 

The best part of my book is the action and conflict that was going on with the capitol and district 13.  I liked this part because I enjoy conflict.  The worst part of my book so far is Peeta automatically attacked Katniss. I then figured out that the capitol brainwashed him into thinking Katniss was the enemy.  I didn't like this because I want Peeta to attack the Capitol with Katniss.  At that point I began to feel like I wanted the capitol to be destroyed even more than I had before.
