Blog Assessment Heaven is for real #2


            Specific words/phrases that I used while writing this blog post that demonstrate my voice as a writer are adjectives I used such as, excellent, fantastic, and amazing. These words showcase my personality as a writer because it shows that when I am writing, I am writing with enthusiasm and excitement. This can show the readers the author’s type of personality.

            Some diction I used while writing this blog post was elevated/formal diction. Formal diction is using proper writing skills and using a wide variety of proper vocabulary that makes the author sound wise. An example of my use of formal diction in this post is, “The best part about his writing is that he always includes important details that other authors might not think about including.” Some syntax that was used I used while writing this blog post was sentence length. The sentence length I used in this post varies from medium to long. An example of the use of various sentence lengths is, “This book is a true story about his son who got really sick when he was little. This story is very interesting.” The use of both diction and syntax helps make each post more detailed and more intriguing.
