Blog Reflections


My best blog post was the Fahrenheit 451 Clarrise Sketch. Specific phrases I used were quotes from the book. I also give explinations to my reasoning and oppinion. This demonstrates my personality as a writer as being thorough and backing up my claims . It also shows that I am very oppiniative, but I back them up with logical reasoning.

The diction I use is very formal. For example, " The most important quote said by Clarisse is not "Are you happy?"(Bradbury 10), but rather "If it rubs off, it means I'm in love, has it?" (Bradbury 22). This is because this is what gets Montag not just questioning her, and whether he is in love with his wife, but he also begins questioning the world around him." My sentence structure is very long and stretched out. Polysyndeton is one form of (advanced) diction that I tend to use a lot. I also tend to repeat words in consecutive sentences or conjunctions. For example, "I believe had it not been for her involvement in the story, as well as the involvement of the operators, which made him question society, he would not be headed down the path he is now. The biggest influence in the book so far however has been Montags own thoughts when he is thinking about or questioning Clarisse or Mildred."
