Final Blogging Assesment

Final Blogging Assessment-English 1B

To be honest I would hate to be in this book! The society affects the individual in the book mocking jay because of the authority having so much power. In the book the society is in poverty and there is a great rule called the capitol compelling individuals to compete in games that they must participate with 24 competitors who fight to the death in an arena designed by the capitol. This society personally affects katniss the main character in the book because she has to fight in the games for her life because she was chosen. Later in the book she causes an uprising while competing in the games and the society once again puts her in a worse position. The society around her also can’t help her because of her being separated from the districts and her family. After Katniss breaks out of the arena the capitol feels a new different kind of anger. All the capitol once now is Katniss dead. From the start the society has been affecting Katniss and it only gets worse. Wow who would want to be katniss in this book. Also Katnisses feelings are hurt when the capitol threatens Katnisses family be dead when they can’t find her on the hover craft when going to district thirteen. In the book I conclude that the society and katniss will constantly having some type of effect on each other and without them affecting each other there would not be much of a story at all. Wow… I guess in the moral of the story it sucks to suck.

 

1)      In my blog I use “sucks to suck”, “wow who would want to be katniss in this book “and to be honest I would hate this book. Both these help demonstrate voice by voicing my opinion I n more of a way I would in real life. “Sucks to suck” in a way tells the reader how I feel about the situation in the book and lets me express my opinion through my own words. This goes for my second and third voice selection because in the blog it lets the reader see here I am coming from and how I express how I fell in my own words.

 

2)       In my blog some purposeful diction and syntax choices I made to enhance my writing were using the word compelling instead of forcing or another word to make it formal. Also I used the word great in my blog which is informal because I could have made it a more informal word that would make it change the meaning like humongous. Also I used the word breaks to describe how the competitors broke out of the arena which is informal diction because I could have used another word like terminate or halt to describe the scene. The syntax in my blog is in the sentence “Wow… I guess in the moral of the story it sucks to suck.” This sentence shows syntax because of the punctuation of the dot dot dot used to create a dramatic pause or conclusion to lead to my voiced opinion. Also in the sentence “To be honest I would hate to be in this book!” it shows syntax because I use an explanation mark to describe how much I fell about being in the book.
