Why I chose this book

I chose the book Safe Haven because it's by nicholas sparks. Nicholas Sparks also wrote one of my favortie stories, 'The Last Song'. Since I enjoyed that story very much I figured I should give another one of his stories a try. 'The last Song' was turned into a movie and so was 'Safe Haven'. They must have to be pretty decent if they are turned into a movie. I mean why woud you turn a hideous book into a movie? A lot of people would probably not see it. I know I wouldn't! Another reason why I chose this book is because I've seen the movie and really liked it. I wanted to compare the two and see how different they were. See how much the director  hinders the details, and how true to the story it is. I wish all movies had the exact details as the book so I can actually visually see everything from the book. Does your book have a movie to were the movie is very true to the book?  Or were a lot of details changed or left out?


1.    What specific words/phrases demonstrate your writer’s voice? How do these words/phrases showcase your personality as a writer? "I mean why woud you turn a hideous book into a movie? A lot of people would probably not see it. I know I wouldn't" (Harrison). This shows how I really feel about it. Shows my opinion that if a book I don't like is made into a movie, I would not see it. With my voice, I'm very honest.
 
"I mean why woud you turn a hideous book.." (Harrison). I feel like my voice is very outgoing and sarcastic in a way. When I said a book is "hideous" I didn't actually mean the apperance of the book. I meant the way it was wrote, how I feel about it. This makes my voice unigue.
 
 
2.  What purposeful diction AND syntax choices did you make to enhance your writer’s voice? You must choose to discuss at least one diction AND one syntax technique from the list below. Make sure to include textual evidence from your post where you included the diction and syntax choices you discuss.
Diction:
"See how much the director hinders the details, and how true to the story it is' (Harrison).
I used hinder to use more strong diction. I could of used changed but instead of using changed I used hinder. This makes my voice sound more older.

Syntax

  1. What do you think of the book so far? How did 'The Last Song' compare to the movie? I have only seen the movies and would love to read the books once I am done with the Divergent series! How would you have rated those books out of 10?
