Within the book, the author uses a variety of sentence structure and lengths to add emphasis to specific pieces. One specific line in the chapter Waiting for David, is when the author is describing a scene and says, "The world burst into flames" (70). I chose this quote because this short sentence structure used by the author, expresses the situation taking place and gets directly to the point. This quote adds value to my conversation because it adds imagery and a hyperbole that allow the reader to imagine what is going on without actually reading the chapter. This short sentence structure allows the reader to have a different view on the topic just with a few words. This short quote allows the writer to explain to the reader what they need to know and allows the reader to quickly interpret what is being explained to them.
Some syntax and diction choices I utilized within my blog to enhance my writer's voice is when I said, "Hyperboles can help the piece sound more interesting just by making the sentence not sound as familiar to the reader." Here, I added a long sentence to explain a hyperbole to insure my reader's understand what I am discussing. If I didn't add this sentence some readers may have became confused of why I was referring to the sentence I was explaining. I also used casual diction when I was saying, "making them quick and easy to comprehend." By using the words "quick and easy" I am making my sentence less complicated allowing the reader too completely understand every word.
Within my piece, I use technology to enhance the conversation. I used dictionary.com to help explain other words the author could have used to make his/her text more intriguing. By using this technology, it allows the reader to consider other words they could use and the source that help them identify more elevated diction. This could not only help in their writing, but could help them learn more terms to help understand in further pieces.
