Final Blogging Assessment

The blog post i picked to reveal my storngest and most distinct voice is:
"The theme that this book has been revealing to me throughout the past couple chapters. I believe is that When stuck in an uncomfortable position, try your best to fix it by being the better person. Also stepping up even if it is a weird position for you. I believe this is the authors primary theme because of the fact with her husband, (ex) being so inconvenient with Katie, it puts her down a lot; self-conscious wise. It guides the authors decision while when in the middle of the book the quotes, “Katie … this really isn’t what you have to do, baby. You know I want to be with you that’s why I have for the past couple years.” (Tierny, 56).


The author supports theme throughout conflicts like Josh falling off the dock into the ocean and Katie saving him. I feel like its extremely  positive that this theme is like no other book i have ever read from theory that its unique, individual, and keeps the reader intrigued.The theme originates from when she is being so afraid of failing…to when Alex comes in to save the day and falls madly in love with her. This makes the information regarding changes throughout the book available for Katie to differ in her life when she mets Alexs family. Not to mention how much the kids love her and she stays away from Tierny in order to not get in trouble! "
 

1. Specific words or phrases that show my voice which are distinct are: “I feel like it is extremely positive that this theme is like no other book i have ever read from theory that it is unique, individual, and keeps the reader intrigued.” Another example is in the 1st paragraph I cited:” I believe this is the author’s primary theme because of the fact with her husband, (ex) being so inconvenient with Katie…” These sentence’s showcase my personality as a writer throughout the paragraph how I used a few more meaningful words. It also gave more depth into the sentence instead of a word with not as much of a true meaning into it. Also instead of using dull words; sometime I showcase my personality by choosing more extensive vocabulary. I tend to increase the length of my sentences sometimes, because they can vary to be short. But with more sentences’ I feel like it makes the blog more compelling instead of long, run on sentences.


2. Some examples of formal, purposeful diction I added within my piece could be: when I noted about the position Katie felt was “uncomfortable” as well as the word “inconvenient”. An example of low diction could be when I used the word “stuck” or else “afraid.” An example of elevated diction could be the sentence: “I believe is that When stuck in an uncomfortable position, try your best to fix it by being the better person. Also stepping up even if it is a weird position for you.” An example of abstract diction is:The theme originates from when she is being so afraid of failing…” because it is kind of a dull, not exciting sentence for the most part. An example of denotation is “primary” because it’s the true dictionary meaning of it which It states: 1. first or highest in rank or importance; chief; principal: his primary goals in life. 2. Next that first in order in any series, sequence, etc. 3.The first in time; earliest; primitive. Which all of these are correct. Some examples of punctuation I used for syntax are: “The theme originates from when she is being so afraid of failing…”This is using the dots to create tension.  As well as : ” Not to mention how much the kids love her and she stays away from Tierny in order to not get in trouble!” This is using the exclamation point to create excitement to the reader. Also: “I believe is that When stuck in an uncomfortable position, try your best to fix it by being the better person.” This is using the comma to show a brief, small pause for the reader. A sentence strength example is: “I feel like it is extremely positive that this theme is like no other book I have ever read from theory that its unique, individual, and keeps the reader intrigued.” Because this sentence is long; as well as descriptive and gives deep details proving points to the reader. The word order and sentence structure comes out in and sentence like: “I believe is that When stuck in an uncomfortable position, try your best to fix it by being the better person.” Because if you were to switch up the sentence; or put the order backwards, the sentence would make almost no sence at all and just plain sound completely stupid most likely!
