Final Blogging Assessment Cohen

  1.    What specific words/phrases demonstrate your writer’s voice? How do these words/phrases showcase your personality as a writer?                       Some of the specific words and phrases that demonstrate my writer’s voice are, the author just kind of rambles on about his topics, I love how it’s written from his perspective. I can’t say that enough, something of the sorts, and out of this world. I use a lot of casual diction to make it feel like I am talking to the reader. I like to keep my writing nice ad relaxed, fun, and fast paced. I don’t want you to dread reading one of my posts.

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.                        For diction I used low/ informal. Like I said before I want it to feel like I am actually talking to the reader. I don’t want it to sound like I am just droning on about my topic, that’s boring. I want it to be fast paced and fun like I’m actually there talking to you. I’m talking about a book I read not giving a speech to the president, these blogs are supposed to be fun. An example of low/informal diction in my post is I say “out of this world”.  For syntax I used sentence length, I kept my sentences nice and short to make the post feel short and keep it fun. Also it is casual you’re not going to see me droning on in a normal conversation. In a normal conversation the sentences are short and to the point, so that is what I did in my blog post. An example of sentence length in my blog post is “I love how it’s written from his perspective, I can’t say that enough.” It’s a short sentence straight to the point, just like I said.
