BLOGGER FINAL ASSESSMENT

I think that the blog post that shows my best voice is my connections post to Insurgent. One of the lines that demonstrate my best voice is when I was explaing how Tobias's big secret was revealed,     "They put Tris and Tobias under a truth serum and now know Tobias's big secret (sorry can't tell)." I said this because I didn't want to spoil the story for the readers. Another line that demonstrates my voice is when I was describing how Tris and Tobias feel about moving to Dauntless, "They also find out that he regrets moving to Dauntless, but on the other hand, Tris feels she belongs there and she feels she wasn't right for Abnegation." I said, "but on the other hand." which I find myself saying a lot in actual conversations.

I like to use diction and syntax to make my piece more interesting and easy to read. I used a different kind of sentence structure to better describe what I'm talking about and who I am talking about when I explained how who you listen to affects how you think about things, "When people that I trust believe in something and think it is right, for example my parents, I tend to believe that that is also the right idea and it can affect the way I think about a situation." I start explaining what I believe, then I use a comma to go into detail of someone who affects what I believe, and then I keep going into description about how it affects me. An example of elevated diction is when I was describing what happened to the characters at the Candor compound, "They are ambushed by traitor Dauntless and Eric and they attempt to capture all of the Divergents they can since they are immune to the simulation." I could've said that they were attacked by Eric and the traitor Dauntless, but I used the word ambushed because it was more descriptive and it sounded better in the piece to elevate my writing.
