Final Blogger Reflection

Link to my best voice blog post-

Specific words or phrases to demonstrate my writer’s voice in my post the worst thing about my book: Fahrenheit 451 is when I say “I don't think they should burn such great sources of knowledge even if it might threaten their power, their being the government or whoever runs America now.” This specific phrase shows you my opinion on the fact that the government is burning books which helps to strengthen my voice and give the readers a chance to connect with my piece because since it’s an opinion they might disagree or agree with me. I also demonstrate good writer’s voice when I say “I believe learning and hearing about different perspectives is very important because it can help us figure out our own perspective on life and others matters and it also keeps us open to new ideas and opinions.” This is showing you again my take on the topic of burning books and how I believe it can help us in our everyday life. These examples demonstrate great use of my writer’s voice.

The punctuation in my piece allows the readers to think and to connect to my writing. For example when I ask the questions “Do you think burning books is the best part of the book? Do you think burning the books is a justified thing to do?” Again this is allowing my readers to connect to my piece and to get their own opinions about burning books. I put this type of syntax at the end to leave the readers thinking about my piece so once they finished reading my piece wouldn’t just escape their mind because no one when writing wants a forgettable piece.  I use some elevated diction in my piece like “Perspective” “justified” and “threaten”. Although these words can be well known there are lower, informal words that could be used in their place. For example for perspective you could say opinion, or for justified you could use the words is it right, and lastly for threaten you could say harm or endanger. So therefore by using this elevated diction it really helps my piece sound like a more serious type of writing but at the same time I don’t use too much elevated diction to where it becomes not understandable or relatable. I placed my elevated diction all around my piece, trying to spread them out so I wouldn’t over whelm my reader with it.

I believe my Fahrenheit 415 post had my best writer’s voice in it because it emphasized my writer’s voice well, and my use of diction and syntax. These all being very important puzzle pieces to writing a great voice piece and writing piece in general. Which is why I picked it to be the piece I did my final blogger reflection over.
