So far I am on page 38 (I think) and I have found out that Pressia is helping people with medical disabilities. Like she had helped this little boy with making a fake arm. She is being very helpful in the community and tries the best she can to keep everyone safe and healthy, even with her disability. Then in a whole different setting, Partridge (Pressia's half-brother), is being kept safe by the Mothers. They are keeping him in a seller and he has been give a pencil, paper, and a piece of wood to make maps for the Mothers.

Partridge's, Mother's Vials

Then Partridge lifts up a jar from off of an old shelf and beetles scatter and he pulls out 4 vials from underneath the jar. His mother had said, before she died, they can be very dangerous but yet life saving. So Partridge takes one of the beetles that was found underneath the jar, and cups it in his hand. Partridge wants to experiment on the beetle to see what would happen to it.

So he tries to put the needle of the vial into the beetle and the beetle sticks him/ stabs him with the spikes on his legs. And Partridge then lets go of it but not before a tiny drop drops onto the beetle. And then after like 10 minutes Partridge sees the beetle trying to get away but it has a huge over grow leg. He sees it try to fly but it can't because of the legs weight, it digs a hole and buries itself.

Questions:

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

At the beginning of this post I put what page I was on and then if I was unsure, I would put "(I think)." I also had used the word "so" a lot. How they showcase my personality as a writer is by allowing me to say something and be unsure about it and it would be ok. Why I think this is ok is because I had told my viewers that I was unsure and they would except it. Also for the word "so," it allows the people viewing my page to get what I'm saying without using a bigger vocabulary and it makes it simple. :)

2. What purposeful diction and syntax choices did you make to enhance your writer's voice?

What I have done to enhance my writers voice is I used Low/informal diction so it makes my posts and voice sound simple. Just like when I said, "So far I am on page 38..." But at the same time very descriptive. Also I had used what we call a "Punctuation Trademark." And in my syntax, I had used a lot of comas. Also a lot of periods too. Also, just like I said, "His mother had said, before she died, they can be very dangerous but yet life saving."

New Book: The Last Song

I had to return my book to the library and I couldn't re-check it out. So I started a new book. And this book is called The Last Song. I have found this book to be very intriguing. I have found that there is a girl named Ronnie and she has to go with her brother to go see their father. He has been out of their life for who knows how long, and Ronnie does not want to go and see him. But unfortunately, he mother, Kim, is making her go and see him. But on the other hand their father can't  wait to see them both.

They take a trip down to see their dad and on the way Ronnie and her mother are talking about things and Ronnie is just making everything her mother says sound mean and cruel. And on the way her brother sees a Farris wheel behind some trees and he asks his mother if and when they get there, to his dad's house if they could go.  But then Ronnie cuts in and says something negative again. Then they finally get there and Ronnie then leave to take a walk to try to get away from her "so-called dad" as she calls it. That's as far as I have gotten. :)

Fuse

Now I am on a Chapter with El Capitan. I wonder what will happen? Well El Capitan is thinking to himself about what the Special Forces. He starts thinking about the word that he carved into the tree. And what was the meaning of the word? Why did he carve it into that tree and would it have something to do with Partridge or Pressia? But then he starts think of what Pressia would say if she saw him. Would she think he looked horrable and gross or just think he looked like that all the time?

Then El Capitan started thinking of how Pressia would talk to him and how she would think of each person and include them into the conversation. El Capitan even says that he sees her even look at Helmid like he was never attached to him. Like he was just a normal person. Never to be fused to another. And how she would always make eye contact to everyone that was included in the conversation. That's as far as I got to.
