Blogger Reflection

1.       Phrases that demonstrate my writing voice are, “If I had to rate this book from 1-10 I would give it an 8.5 probably.” This shows my personality because adding probably to the end really shows that I am being casual and very informal, so the reader can infer that I’m a very casual, laid back person. Another phrase, “Read this book, you won't regret it!” This really shows my enthusiasm in trying to get people to read the book because I add an exclamation mark at the end, which shows that I really liked the book and was excited about it. Lastly, “I also got the chance to see the movie in theaters and I will not lie and say I liked the movie much better.” This shows my informal and casual personality again because I say, “I will not lie” which conveys a very informal voice and brings out my casual personality.

2.        My post featured a ton of informal diction like I talked about in question 1 but I will use some different examples. Some informal diction in my blog post were, “Now saying that I think it's a great book don't get me wrong” saying don’t get me wrong brings out informal diction because I would say “don’t get me wrong” in an everyday argument, say with my parents. Another example of informal diction is when I say, “I can't wait to read the third one” this is informal diction because I could have used more formal words instead of wait; I could have said I have no patience to wait for the third book. I use very good punctuation in my blog post. Some examples are, “Read this book, you won't regret it!” Also ,” I think the author did a good job of getting me to keep reading by making it interesting”  Adding exclamation marks to the blog really makes the blog less boring and more interesting for the readers. Also adding an exclamation mark to the end of the blog brings out my voice using syntax!
