My Best 'voice' post was probably my most recent one:
Ok, so... I still haven't exactly finished Allegient and it's been like forever. I loved the first two books and couldn't put them down. Now i'm not very convinced on how much I thought I loved the series. The book changes between the point of view of Tris and Tobias. Before I couldn't put the books down, but now I don't even feel like picking 'em up. There are so many bad reviews on Allegient. Everyone seems to be saying the same thing: the ending is horrible. Well isn't that the whole point of reading a story? That's why you keep reading: so you can find out what happens next. So if everyone says that I won't like what happens next, then why would I keep reading?
Seriously though, Veronica Roth: You were doing so well writing these amazing stories. They were full of suspense and detail. But nowww you have to go and ruin it with the last book. Seriously? The last book is supposed to end the series with a bang. That wasn't supposed to be taken literally. You aren't supposed to KILL the series.
There are so many aspects of my real voice as a person in this post. When I say, " Ok, so..." it basically describes how I start of every detailed sentence or topic in everyday life. Almost every time I get into a conversation I will ask at least one question, even if it doesn't exactly make sense or its and extremely stupid question. If I could describe my 'voice' in one word, it would be " Seriously?!" This is because I am always either intrigued, annoyed or, well, acting like I'm intrigued. A lot of people don't exactly understand my sarcasm.
I rarely use proper grammar when I am talking in an everyday situation. Which is shown when I say, "Before I couldn't put the books down, but now I don't even feel like picking 'em up." I use the word "'em" to show that I wouldn't usually say them, especially if I'm talking quickly. I also don't use very elevated diction in my voice in real life, or in my writing voice. I use a few elements of syntax as well when I say " nowww..." because I chose not to use italics and instead use extra letters as if I was texting, to exaggerate the word even more than italicizing it could.
I also have a somewhat continued metaphor by taking the phrase " end it with a bang" to litteral terms and relating it to a gun. I do this when I say that Veronic Roth did apparently end Allegient, and the series in general with a bang. But I show that the bang was like shooting the book, storyline and whole plot overall and killing it. That is the way that I show, in my opinion, that the reviews on the ending tell how bad it is and that the ending could have ( according to the reviews) be written a lot better than it was.
