My Writers voice

Blog post #5:

       “Within the first few pages of the book we already know that it is set in the good ol USA. A quote from the book that shows that is, “Of course we aren’t totally free of deliria in the United States." It makes you think, what if our government said love was a disease? What if they prevented us from love? The US government in this book deprives its people from such an important emotion. They see only the pain love brings, they don’t see the happiness and wonderful things it brings. Any town or city could have been chosen for the setting in my opinion. No matter what city, there would be no love anywhere. (Thanks to the wonderful US government) But it is set in Portland, Maine. They can’t love, can’t choose who to marry and get told how many kids they can have. The government watches them like people watch a reality show. In the book, the US still celebrates some holidays. The government held the value of the fourth of July. A quote that proves this is, “the day of our independence, the day we commemorate the closing of our nation’s border" So there are some similarities with the world in this book and our world. Even though in that quote, the border closing really represents their total dependence for the cure of love. The US is totally cut off from the outside world. The people are not allowed access to the outside world. It's kind of like a communist country, but worse.”
       
        For my writers voice I use sarcasm as a writing style. I use it as a way to criticize something or sometimes show I like it. It shows I feel about a subject. I also use rhetorical questions as a of my writing style part of my writer’s voice. An example of a rhetorical question I use is, “What if they prevented us from love?” That phrase shows my writers voice of sarcasm is, “Thanks to the wonderful US government.” They show my personality as a sarcastic writer that likes to involve my reader’s with questions. It also shows that I am headstrong about my opinion.
      
        I use different types of punctuation to enhance my writer’s voice. I use commas a lot in my writing. It’s a good way to in cooperate my opinion with examples or evidence. It’s also a great way to make sentences interesting and different. It can change the tone of the whole piece. An example is, “Its kind of like a communist country, but worse.” It really helps the reader understand what the country is like and is a great way to add to the tone. For diction I use a lot of abstract diction. The abstract diction helps enhance writer’s voice because it shows how I want to make the readers feel. It helps the readers really evoke their emotions with what I’m is trying to describe. An example is, ‘What if they prevented us from love?” the word prevented changes the way the readers feel about love in the book and helps them appreciate love.
