Final Blog Assessment

Original Blog Post:
I have recently finished the book FANG and from my previous post's prediction on it, i am right about but there is more I didn't predict. So they do go on a trip to Africa, they meet a mysterious billionaire whose intense scrutiny of the Flock makes her fear the worst. His name is Dr. Hans Gunther-Hagen. He is the scientist who created Dylan, the perfect other-half of Max. He is extremely rich, and owns many pharmaceutical companies. He tries to approach the Flock asking to meet with their leader, Max and Angel. Angel has been trying to get leadership in the flock. He introduces Dylan to them, who he calls his "protege." Later Angel makes a statement about Fang, Max's soul mate,: Fang will be the first to die. The flock was shocked and Max was infuriated about it. Max's desperate desire to protect Fang brings the two closer than ever and cause some distractions between them and the flock.

Conflicts arise between Fang and Dylan over Max. Max is kicked out of the flock by Angel, who (again) thinks she should be the leader. Max is confused and devastated, because she and Fang had just thrown a huge birthday party for all of the flock (celebrating each others their birthday). She and Fang leave and go to Las Vegas. There they are discovered by Dr. Hans once again. Meanwhile, the rest of the flock expose themselves to the media and become 'superstars'. They go to LA, where Max and Fang come back to see them. The flock then become very sick, everyone except Max and Fang. (It is later discovered that Dr. Hans had put something in the water supply at the house they lived in) Fang runs away, and is caught by Dr. Hans. Max comes to rescue him, but finds him dead. She injects him with a tube of adrenaline and brings him back to life. Total and Akila get married, after the wedding, Fang goes home early, and Max stays. She comes home later to find that Fang has run off once again, this time he asks her not to come after him.

1. What specific words/phrases demonstrate your writer's voice? How do these words/phrases showcase your personality as a writer?

Some specific phrases that help demonstrate my voice are when I wrote "(It is later discovered that Dr. Hans had put something in the water supply at the house they lived in)" because even though I don't have add the phrase I feel it is important for the reader/audience to know what is going. The contamination of the water supply and why it all happened, I think, is important to add. Another phrase would be "She injects him with a tube of adrenaline and brings him back to life." Basically reassuring he isn't dead but is conscious.

2. What purposeful diction and syntax choices did you make to enhance your writer’s voice? You must choose to discuss at least one diction and one syntax technique from the list below. Make sure to include textual evidence from your post where you included the diction and syntax choices you discuss.

Purposeful diction I use is when I say "Max is confused and devastated, because she and Fang had just thrown a huge birthday party for all of the flock (celebrating each others their birthday)." This is purposeful because I am describing what Max's feelings were during that situation and also what my feelings and the reader's as well. I used purposeful syntax at the end: "Total and Akila get married, after the wedding, Fang goes home early, and Max stays. She comes home later to find that Fang has run off once again, this time he asks her not to come after him." This is purposeful because I am leaving the reader with a cliffhanger to ensure the audience/reader will return to see how the characters resolve the dilemma. And throughout the post the sentence lengths are regular or kind of lengthy but they are precious and detailed which is what a blag post needs.

Witch & Wizard Beginning

I have finished Armageddon and have chosen to read the Witch and Wizard series.

This is the story about Wisty and Whit Allgood, a sister and brother who were torn from their family in the middle of the night, slammed into prison, and accused of being a witch and a wizard. Thousands of young people have been kidnapped; some have been accused; many others remain missing. Their fate is unknown, and the worst is feared; for the ruling regime will stop at nothing to suppress life and liberty, music and books, art and magic. And the pursuit of being a normal teenager.

Finished Armageddon

The next book in the series is Armageddon. Daniel must now face an alien whose origins appear nearer to the depths of Hell than the outer reaches of the galaxy. Number Two is an unstoppable criminal that's slowly been creating an underground army of dangerous aliens to help him enslave the Earth's population. And it's all in preparation for the arrival of Number One, the most powerful alien in the universe and Daniel's arch-nemesis.

To Daniel's horror, thousands of humans defect to the alien's side, making the odds of success that much more impossible. But for the first time in his life, Daniel isn't alone in his fight. He's connected with several military and intelligence groups—including the daughter of a prominent FBI agent--and is prepared to lead the ultimate showdown against the evil that has plagued planet Earth for so long.

But the book doesn't involve with Number 1 and Daniel meeting each other personally or fighting.
