Final Blogging Assessment

There are many words/phrases I used in my blog post to demonstrate my voice and personality as a writer. For example in one of my blog post I stated, “If you want to know what happen to him read the book.”(Nair) This shows my personality as a writer as it shows that I am not willing to give out endings of the book.One of the words I have used to demonstrate my voice is, “ After being an outstanding player in his team and district, he got into a situation in which his age was questioned by coaches from different teams.”(Nair) Outstanding is a casual diction. Casual diction makes it easier of the reader to understand what I am trying to say. It also shows that my voice casual and straightforward.       

      

 There are a lot of diction in my blogs for example in one of my post I stated, “I would advocate this book to anyone who likes baseball or sports." (Nair) The word advocate is an Elevated diction. This enhances my voice as this elevated diction buts an emphasis on what I am trying to say. Some of the syntax I used in blog are sentence length and punctuation. I used the comma and had a medium to long sentence length in my post.For example in one of my post I stated, “He has no way to prove it because he has no mother, no father, and no birth certificate as it is at his native, Cuba”. (Nair)This enhances my voice because it gives out a lot of information I know from the story. It also emphasis on the main point I am trying to say on my post. Comas also break up my thoughts and make it easier to understand my post.

Setting of the book- The Hunger Games

The story takes place in Panem. The main character in the story is Katniss Everdeen. The story takes place in the future. We know that it takes place in the future because of the things they use in the story for example, Pita and Katniss wear some type of clothing which would ignite but would not harm them. This proves that the story took place in the future because we don’t have any type of a clothing now days that we can wear which would not burn us. This shows that the setting has an important role in the plot of the story because it lets us know about when and where the story taking place.

Discussion question: Do you think that the setting of a book is an important part of a story?

Text to world connection

Text to world connection in my book is to the Nazi Germany because in my book the people were always starving to deaths and have no freedom they all were divided in different districts and were not allowed to leave the allotted area. This is just like the concentration camp Hitler had during World War 2. The Jews were like the people living in different district as they both didn't have enough food and also because they both were not allowed to leave their allotted area.

Discussion question- what is the text to world connection in your book?
