Blogging Assemssment #1

Some specific words that demonstrate my writer’s voice are words such as “infer” and “sketchy.” These words are used in a way so that they help contribute to the blog in general, and help communicate how I think about the subject being talked about in general. I also use longer sentences, to help get the point I am trying to get across to the reader of the blog. I’m not sure if by using the longer or shorter sentences that people will understand it more and it might not be truly effective, but that’s one of my natural writing styles for me. I also like taking parts of a sentence from a quote, and using them for quotes; therefore punctuating them correctly, and making it stand out from other quotes.

Some diction and syntax choices that I use in my writing are to have some elevated and formal language and some casual writing skills, like “That is referring to events from the night before…”, along with punctuation; some examples are “What about last night?” and “I wanted to talk to you…you took all the pills in your bottle last night.”, and sentence lengths, mentioned in the above paragraph.

"Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown

The book that I am currently reading is "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. A quick summary of the book so far is that Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment at a Swiss Research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol that was seared onto the chest of a murdered physicist and he diescovers that an ancient underground group, the Illuminati, has resurfaced to take out its most hated enemy, the Catholic Church, with an "anti-mater" bomb in the heart of the Vatican City.

So far, this book has been pretty good, and it is a suspence novel that is exciting to read, just like other Dan Brown books. I'd recommend it if you like a high pased novel that excites you and leaves you on the edge of your seat.
