Blogging Assessment #1

  Tragedy. It happens. Just how bad it is is only changeable by how you react to it. One character, though, has reacted to tragedy in a terrible way. This character decided to change their personality and M.O. entirely. This character of course, is Bluestar reacting to Tigerclaw's treachery and attempt to kill her to become ThunderClan's leader. When the fire broke out around the forest, Bluestar only accepted the offer from Crookedstar to shelter ThunderClan for a few days, not giving them the proper time to recover. This is only furthered by her accusing StarClan of waging war against ThunderClan

          Bluestar does not appear to be getting much better in her psyche at all; it would be wise to assume Bluestar's mental injuries are permanent. The only solution for something this bad is to wait her out until either these permanent injuries miraculously heal or she inevitably reaches the end of her lifespan. This is one of the more stressful parts of the series where the books aren’t as enjoyable because the relationship of Bluestar and her clan.

1.       Some words that are uniquely used by me are ones such as ‘miraculously’, ‘M.O.’, and ‘inevitably reaches’. These show my personality as a writer by being complicated and advanced vocabulary that most people would not use on a regular basis. These words being used in the order that they were (not as a phrase, but chronological order) specifically makes up the train of my thought.

2.       One example of diction, or more specifically, Elevated or informal diction is, “until either these permanent injuries miraculously heal or she inevitably reaches the end of her lifespan”. This is elevated diction because it used above average amount of medium-advanced diction. An example of Syntax is when I say,” Just how bad it is is only changeable by how you react to it.” I used the word ‘is’ twice in a row in this sentence. I used it twice because the first ‘is’ is tied to the word ‘it’ that appears first, because the first ‘is’ is tied to a word, it cannot be tied to another word that proceeds it at the same time. If I had done the latter I would have been incorrect with my grammar.
