Final blog Assesment

In my post in the beginning of the tri I was relating my book to the real world, a text-to-world connection. I chose this post because I think that I used good diction and multiple sentence structures when I was describing how our problems today relate to the morphed humans in Wayward. An example of when I was using good voice in the post is, “The unknown threat to the townspeople is actually the remnants of humanity, morphed and disfigured by increasingly unstable genes (Rice)”. I think that this phrase in particular showcases my voice and style as a writer because while trying to describe the book I used I used elevated diction and it made me sound like I was describing the plot to a movie and I like that.

 

In this post when I was describing a text-to-world connection between the real world and Wayward I made purposeful diction choices for most sentences but while I was writing, I didn’t really think about my sentences structures, I just used what sounded best while I was reading it. For example, I used a periodic sentence while describing the creatures, not because I decided to, but because it sounded best.  “Humans, now four legged, translucent, hunting predators, evolved into these twisted things as their gene pool became increasingly worse (Rice)”. The sentence wasn’t wrapped up nicely until I included the part after I had described the creatures. While using diction, I actually gave things a little more thought. “The unknown threat to the townspeople is actually the remnants of humanity, morphed and disfigured by increasingly unstable genes (Rice)”. In this sentence, I purposefully used elevated diction like ‘Remnants’ and ‘Disfigured’ because I wanted a clear image of the creatures I was describing, along with more detail.
