Final Blog Assessment 1B

My voice is heard throughout my blog in many ways. An example of this is in the post The Hunger Games Summery when I use parenthesis “Not all its citizens fight just one boy and one girl for each of the 12 districts (Actually there are 13 but no one talks about 13).” This shows my voice because I add a side note by using parenthesis which I tend to do and shows my style by showing that I like to add in details even if they aren’t crucial to the story. Another example of my voice is when a state “Eventually the games end and she is the lone victor. or is she?” This shows voice because I have varying syntax including a rhetorical fragment. I also end in a 3 word sentence which usually means it is a powerful or meaningful statement. I usually use informal diction in my blog. I do this for 2 reasons, the first reason is because it is a blog and I want my readers to feel like I am talking to them and the second is because I want my readers to relate and have an eased informal mood while reading this. An example of informal diction is when a say “During preparations for the game Katniss learns That the man that saved her from her extreme poverty is participating in the games with her” The informal diction like preperations, and extreme poverty give detail but still seem casual when used. The punctuation in my posts very from sentence to sentence. All for a specific reason, for example in one sentence I use an exclamation point “…and may or may not love her!” this shows emphasis and tends to mean that the stamen is shocking and important. Also I use parenthesis like shown in the first paragraph which adds detail but is not essential. I tent to do this because it either helps the reader understand or is interesting.
