Final Blogging Assessment in English 1B


I Started A new book called The Blind Side By: Michael Lewis. I know most of you have probably have already seen the movie like myself. But I just figured I'd read it to compare while I read. When you first meet Michael in the book he doesn't know very much such as his name or a lot about his Dad. Till, a rich family takes him into their home. Then things change Michael such as a sport called football, and his family that love him. Although he is improving in football however he is not in school! While trying to keep his grades up his playing skills get a lot better. He is a good person to be around and he is really friendly and protective of those who are innocent.So far I can tell it is going to be a great book, just like the movie.

          Some diction I would use to enhance my voice in the paragraph above is  instaed of saying he is a good person, i should say, "an amzaing person...." to exprss how awesome his personality is. For example he puts others before him. An example of syntax is when i say, "although he is improving in football however he is not in school!" To express he needs to do well in school to go far in football or go to a good college so he can get noticed for the NFL. Its good to express those diction and syntax so the reader can get a good picture and understanding of the writers voice.




     Thus far in the year I had a goal of makinig my blogs longer than last tries cause mine were just straight to the point, I wanted to give my new one a lot more detail so the reader can get a great picture of what im trieng to say. Also I dont  want to be known as that one guy who just writes blog.
I want to be that guy who gets featured and remembered for what he wrote.

  1. I have only seen the movie but I believe that it is interesting to read the books and see the movies then you can compare. Just from your first paragraph I can picture Michael and how his personality is.
