Specific words I used that demonstrate my voice are: vital, mysterious, vibe, and curious. These words show that I like more descriptive language and I would prefer to use less plain words. A specific phrase that showcases my voice is: “We don’t really know that much about Clarisse, which makes her all the more interesting.” This line shows how I typically word my sentences and I always tend to have a lot of commas in my writing. My writing style is always sort of an ongoing thought and I have never been very good at knowing when or how to end a sentence.

An example of syntax from this post would be my punctuation. “Clarisse seems smart; she asks a lot of questions specifically about firemen”. The use of a semicolon implies a relationship between Clarisse’s intelligence and why I find her smart. Most of my writing is informal diction. Unless it was an essay or something along those lines. In this post especially you can find multiple examples of informal diction. “Her attitude towards them is curious, maybe even a little threatened by what they do.” In my opinion, this quote is very informal and conversational. I would prefer to make it seem like I am just saying this to whoever is reading, instead of it being through a computer screen.
