Reflection

DIVERGENT BLOG POST 4/21-4/27

(Blog I am reflecting on)

 

 

Words that describe my feelings express the voce in my posts. For example instead of using just the words “recommend” or “encourage” I include a descriptive word before it. A word that I used was “highly’’. The “highly encourage” or “highly recommend” reveals my passion for what I am including in my blog. My personality cannot be more vibrant and obvious through my diction and word choice.

 

I used diction in my blog post when I made the executive decision to include elevated language within my post. “Veronica does an amazing job of using elements that we have been learning in class; such as commas, dashes, single quotation marks, rhetoric. syntax, diction, figurative language, and allusions”. I used descriptions such as “amazing” to enhance my blog and writers voice. Also I used the word “elements” instead of simply saying “topics” or “subjects”. I chose to shorten my sentence length in order to include the element of syntax. Again, my voice is expressed through my syntax.

“A simile. ‘Each minute wears into me like a scrape of sandpaper" (Roth 229).

A metaphor. ‘Surrounding his head is a halo of blood’ (Roth 202).

Personification. ‘ My fingernails bite my palms’ (Roth 161).

And a hyperbole. ‘... my heart will burst out of my chest any minute now’ (Roth 38).”
