Reflection #1

   I have used my writer voice most in my blog Post Lone Survivor #2. It help shows that the decision of letting these herders go could risk their life and that adds suspence in the post. The voice in this post is indecisive about what to choose for the option of what to do with the herders. The words show that I am a very simple writer and do not use fancy words like the one we will be putting in our word journal.



I use alot of low informal diction in my writing like using camping and using traits. In my writing I use very little to no formal diction. My diction is very concrete what I put on the paper or the computer is very literal where I should try using more meaning ful words. Many of my stentences are short to medium in length I do not nramally use longer more descriptive sentences. I do not add alot of puntuation in my posts where I should to add meaning and emphasis in my posts.

Lone Survivor #3

The Marines had made the decision to let them go. One of the younger herders sprinted down the mountain and told the War Lord. So the Marines are being chased by this massive army and they are pinned down and surrounded. This is now my favorite part of the book where they are defending off the army and they are all working so well together as a team and they start to retreat back to a little cliff and 3 out of the 4 jump and the other is shot in the shoulder. As the men are rolling down the hill they are hitting rocks and trees. They stop rolling and they group up and one of the guys says "Well That sucked." Throwing a little humor in a bad situation.

Ramsey Review

The column that I  read was a response to the school shooting and wanting to arm teachers."As a board of education, you know better than most how much is already asked of teachers and how far their energy and talents are stretched" This line is showing that the Teacher has more stress than people think that they do. The teachers don't need the extra stress with dealing with the gun that they have to have concealed. These Teachers take a beating with the different kids from year to year and the likely hood of a school shooting is very low. She as a writer is very talented and she is saying with the you know better as slang and not totally proper grammar. Her writing style is very 'really' it is like she is saying really with out writing it, it seems implied that she is saying really are you that stupid. 
I have three questions for Krista Remsey.
1. What is your opinion on this argument?
2. How do you get your ideas and where do you normally get them?
3. How long have you been a writer?

Lone Survivor #2

At this part of the book is where they are camping out where the War lord is staying at. These characters have been spying on them when goat herders find them spying. The four main characters so far all have different traits. One is aggressive and one passive. The best part about my book so far is the fact that this is based off a true story. Many of the characters are thinking about what to do with these herders. If they let them go they could get told on but it is in humane to leave them there and let them die. The characters are struggling to make a decision right now and that is testing their character to see if they are willing to risk their life to let these herders go.
