1) One way I demonstrate my
voice in the novel is by using an allusion. The allusion I use is about a
portable gaming system called a PSP. This word showcases my personality as a
writer because I like to compare things in the book to real life to get a sense
of how the book will turn out and when the book takes place. The next phrase I
use to showcase my voice is when I stated “…no one would hear you and it’s
almost like being trapped.” I feel like this shows my personality because I use
a simile to explain the large size of the house which shows I like to use
writers craft in my writing to intrigue the reader.
2) The type of diction I use in
my blog is informal. I use when I refer to their new house as a “Victorian
fixer-upper”. This helps the reader to
get a better image in their head of what the house actually looks like. This
phrase makes the reader think of a very large and nice house but, it is still
very old and definitely needs some work done before the King family can move
in. One type of syntax I used in my blog was anaphora. I present this in my
blog when I use the phrase, “small, secluded” to describe the town of Pinedale.
This helps to really put those words into perspective and make the reader
imagine the town so it’s almost like they could compare it to something they
have seen or a town they have been to in real life.
