Blog Assignment #1

 

I believe my best blog post is Unexpected Change in Unexpected. This was published on April 7^th. I put my best effort in this blog when trying to incorporate my own voice. I use my voice when I describe the main character’s feelings while hiding from her boyfriend in the bathtub, “A situation like this truly scares me and I wonder while reading the book how I would handle something like this should I be in Katrina's place.” This specific example of voice shows how I care deeply for my main character and how she is going to handle this situation. As a writer I hope I can describe the events in Unexpected and make my readers understand what I feel as Katrina goes through her experiences.

            Also while writing my blogs; I try to give the audience as much information as I can without giving away the story. I describe in two or three paragraphs each time the newest twists and turns in the plot and what I hope will happen in the next chapters to come. I keep my word choice like how I normally talk so the blog almost comes off as a comfortable conversation with my readers. This quote from my blog post shows how my voice is present and my diction and syntax is present while explaining the events from my book, “As I continue reading in Unexpected, I was tip-toeing through the last two chapters fearing some sort of drama would start in between Nash and Katrina. Turns out my assumption was right, and Nash did surprise Katrina and I by freaking out one night when he came home from being with his friends.” I also believe that this enhances my voice and makes my blogs worth reading. Using informal diction and medium sentence length strengthens my writing voice as I tell the story of the characters in Unexpected throughout my blogs.
