Blog reflection

As I am analyzing my voice in the blogs I have posted, I have noticed that I seem to make many predictions about what is to come and sometimes asking questions near the end of the blog. Some specific phrases I use to show my voice as a writer is when I said “I have realized throughout the story Katniss and Peeta’s love may only be for crowd appeal.” This shows that I am expressing my opinion about their feelings towards each other. I have seen many examples throughout the story to prove that this is true. Such as during the games when they pretended to care for each other so they can get sponsers to help them further on in the game. Another example where my voice is showed in this blog is where it says, “Throughout the story, Peeta gets harder and harder to read. Such as being awkward on the way to the games, wanting to train alone, being in an alliance with other people, and never being there for Katniss when she is in danger.” My voice is showed by analyzing Peeta’s character and how it affects Katniss during the story. By saying that Peeta is hard to read I am saying that his personality seems to change depending on who he is around. This makes him difficult to understand because you never know what he could do. These words and phrases show that my writing personality is more predicting what will happen in the future and how their choices and decisions now can affect them later.

            Another way I have enhanced my writing in my blog posts is by adding diction and syntax. An example of Diction in this post is where it says, “I remember the importance of sustaining two star-crossed lover routine and I lean over and give Peeta a long lingering kiss.” Words such as long lingering and star-crossed really let you know Katniss’s feelings towards Peeta. Even if you don’t know how Peeta is feeling about the situation, it makes it much easier to understand what kind of person Katniss is. She believes that it is so important to stay together to get things accomplished. Also, an example of syntax I used in this post is, “Unfortunately, Peeta was back in the cave resting while Katniss was almost being killed.” By starting off the sentence with unfortunately, I am setting the tone for what is to come. If I wouldn’t of started out with that, you would never know how my feelings toward their relationship. My voice is used by analyzing characterization toward the characters and also by predicting how important decisions made now can greatly affect their life together later.
