Blogging Assessment #1

My post, http://nazsreadingblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/divergent.html , really demonstrates my strong, authentic voice because while I was writing it I put in my personal opinions and thoughts to share with the readers and audience.

Divergent, written by Veronica Roth, has got to be one of the best books I've ever read and I'm only half way through the book. Divergent is one of the most original and exhilarating plots ever. I've also saw the movie version and I'm glad I did because that opened my mind and I can picture the book. You could say this book is similar to The Hunger Games, but sorry guys I like this book a lot better."

This paragraph shows how I can have different and unpopular opinions. Sometimes I write with slang or sometimes I am more elaborate with my diction and my 'writer's voice', this is because I want to connect with my readers and keep them interested in what I'm saying. The type of diction I used in that quote was low and informal diction. I used low and informal diction to make my post really easy to read and understand. Also otherwise it would be boring. For syntax, I use a lot of quotes to let the reader see what I'm refering back to and to fully understand what I am trying to describe. Also, I use a lot of fragments to really draw in the reader and it's nice because fragments are just really easy to understand rather than really long borning and elevated sentences.

I picked this post to assess because I really showed the readers that it is a fun and really interesting book while keeping the audience entertained and focused on my post.
