A
specific phrase I use to demonstrate a writing voice is, “…if you love sports
(like myself)” (King). This shows my voice because it shows that I am having
side thoughts throughout my writing and I use parentheses to show that. Another
time I use parentheses is “…on the edge of your seat while reading! (Not really
but it keeps you interested)” (King). This shows how I can be sarcastic when I
write which I fell makes you more interesting to read. Another good sign of
voice in my writing is, “…I still believe you could enjoy this book!” (King). This
quote shows that I am excited about this book. I do this through the use of the
exclamation point.

I
believe that the use of informal diction in my writing enhances my voice. It
shows how I am not too sophisticated and pretty laid back as a writer. A good
example of this is,” It involves many twists and turns which keep you on the
edge of your seat” (King). In this sentence, I use terms such as ‘twists and
turns’ and ‘edge of your seat’. These are both pretty informal terms and not
very sophisticated. An example of syntax in which I use is exclamation points. “Even
if you don't like basketball or sports in general, I still believe you could
enjoy this book! It involves many twists and turns which keep you on the edge
of your seat while reading!” (King). Just in these 2 sentences alone, I have
used 2 exclamation points. I also use a variety of sentence lengths. A short
sentence I used, also very informal, was, “It’s a great book!” (King).
