Final Blog Assessment

For my post with the best voice I chose Symbols for the Characters. I think I am a very casual writer and don’t use a lot of complicated words. I also would say that a lot of people can relate to my posts. A phrase that represents my writing voice is “I think a rocking horse fits Abby very well because she is so worried about her husband’s health she doesn't even sleep or do anything for herself,” (Paragraph 1). When I say ‘she doesn’t even sleep’ it adds my voice because it has a little sarcastic tone in it. This simile, “Donna, Janie's husband's ex-wife, is like a little girl trying on her mommy's high heels. They are way out of place on a little girl,” (Paragraph 4) lets the reader know my personality and how I see things and compare things in the book.

            An example of low/informal diction that I used is, “Her mother has Alzheimer’s and need to be cared for 24/7,” (Paragraph 2).  This is informal diction because 24/7 is something I would use every day like talking to my friend in the halls at school or something. An example of punctuation would be “I wonder what in her life will make her realize how important friends are. Do you have any guesses,” (Paragraph 5). This is because I ask a rhetorical question and it isn’t just something the reader just reads and forgets about. I add the question to allow the reader to remember and think about what I said and ask.

I have completed seven blog posts. I completed twelve comments.

My next book

The next book I am going to read is The Fault in our Stars. The reason I am going to read it is because all of my friends have been talking about how much they like it and how good it is. I have also seen multiple blog posts on this book. just recently I read an article on the little girl who the entire book is based off of. I found it very intriguing and very emotional. It was about like when she was diagnosed and this letter she wrote to her future self. She found a website where you can write a letter to your future self and she knew she probably wouldn't be alive then so she sent it to her parents email so at least someone could read it. I am pretty sure that is where the author got the idea of writing the book based on the little girl. it sounded interesting to me because I tend to like and enjoy sad books. My goal is to read this book before the movie comes out.

Dynamic Character

The dynamic character in, All for One is Caroline. Caroline for over two thirds of the book she is very detailed and focused on taking care of her mom who has Alzheimers and cant fend for herself. everyday she is focused so much on her mom she doesn't take time for herself. She never thinks about herself and never goes to do stuff on her own. Once her  mom passes away from a fire in her house she had so much time on her hands. She sort of forgot what it was like not to be responsible for someone else. Caroline changed a lot by the end of the book she didn't know what to do with her self anymore. Now finally she has really found the time for herself and visit with her other friends.
