Final Blogger Assessment

(Blog Post)

I just finished Devil at my heels. I thought that this book was incredible. I haven't heard of a survival story with greater odds of survival. The fact that Louis and his friend survived the deadly Pacific was incredible; it was too much for any ordinary person. They survived through 47 days of shark infested, stormy, enemy waters. Overall this book is very exciting and I really recommend reading this book. The story is almost like an inspiration to everyone. A message is clearly given from the book, "Never Give Up."

1.         Words and phrases like “incredible” “That fact that Louis and his friend survived the deadly Pacific was incredible; it was way too much for any ordinary person.” “They survived through 47 days of shark infested, stormy, enemy waters.” Describe my writer’s personality. I observed that I seem to be very attentive and passionate about what I read and write.

2.         Throughout my blogging experience I did use a bit of diction and syntax in my blogs. An example of causal diction I used is words like “incredible” “ordinary” and “inspiration”. These words are often used in the English language. An example of good syntax structure is this quote, “They survived through 47 days of shark infested, stormy, enemy waters.” This is a fine example of repetition. I used this technique in order to describe the waters as dramatic and very hostile.
