Best blog post

I think that my blog post that best demonstrates my strongest, most distinct voice is my post called Divergent- The Beginning.

In my blog post I wrote, "Those who are found to be divergent are killed because being different is not okay in their society. If you do not belong to one, and only one faction, then you don't belong in their society." I thought that this represented the voice of author of Divergent very well because even though that leaders in the society do not admit that being different is okay, inside that is what they believe. The author tried very hard to show the reader this in the book from what the main character experiences. I think that this also showcases my personality as a writer because I like to tell the reader exactly how the author intends for the reader to interpret their writing, even if everyone does not interpret it that way. I like to write in a way that is practical and it accomplishes the intended purpose efficiently.

Some diction and syntax choices that I made to enhance the writer's voice was when I said, "When Beatrice took her test, she had very contradicting results and they were inconclusive." In this sentence, I used words like 'inconclusive' and 'contradicting' to describe the results of the test. Although these words to not come directly form the book, I used them to better describe the results in a way that was clear and understandable. I used higher level words, and even though these words can be more difficult to read and comprehend, they describe the test results very well. If I used words that were not as specific or of lower-level interpretation, then I would not have properly described the test results. A syntax technique that I used is that I used comma's properly, and I also didn't use too many. Sometimes in a sentence, the writer can use too many comma's and therefore create an overuse of it and it degrades the effect of the comma.
