Writer's voice

The last thing we all want to do when we are reading a book is flipping the pages back and forth to understand the page you we are reading. Blackwater by Kerstin Ekman, was one of the most interesting and most complicated books I have ever read. Being used to American writing style, it was pretty hard to stay on track with Black Water since it’s a Swedish novel. Being a detective is the last thing I would of have thought of myself. The readers of The Blackwater have become an unlicensed detective. This particular writing includes many mysteries that cannot be solved easily and requires lots of attention. The writing style of this book is way different than the books we are used to reading. Since it’s a Swedish novel and its not something we are used to reading, this book really did challenge its readers in many different ways. The Blackwater gave me a different experience that I have never experienced before. This particular book has put a thought into my mind thinking that all of the authors in Sweden or Scandinavia in general write their books in the same way as Kamilia Lackberg. This writing style includes many different aspects into it. It is like a medication that comes with side effects. This particular writing has many good sides/benefits to us and it also comes with complicated and frustrated sides. What makes it good for us is that it builds a better picture in our head about what is going on in the book, makes us think outside the box and we are constantly…

Knowing that I was going to take this course I was extremely nervous and unexcited. I have always been told that I am not the best writer. Putting my work out there for others to read was very nerve racking. I knew nothing about poetry, non-fiction, and fiction. I knew the definitions, but that was the extent of it. During the lessons throughout the semester I gained knowledge of poets such as Ezra Pound, E.E. Cummins, Frank O’Hara, and many others. During class we discussed different meanings…

recommends ten-minute freewriting exercises to practice, where you just jot down words that come to you associated with a specific topic. Try 5 mins first and then work up to fifteen, and then twenty minutes. Keep on trying to improve your writing and remember the two most important rules. Don’t ever stop before the time runs out. And just write whatever comes to mind even if you’re stuck and don’t have any idea what to think next. I think keeping a journal or diary is great way to practice…

made for its reader. Passive voice makes for a poor reading experience, it is difficult to understand and frequently poorly executed. While it is important to give an author creative freedom when creating his or her work, it is of more importance that the reader be able to understand his message. This is where passive voice has serious drawbacks in most situations, poor use of that style can lead to a mess which is difficult to comprehend and muddle the message of the work itself. This muddling…

ideal happens when you take an opportunity. These opportunities are jobs, the voice of the people, and the freedom we are given. We have a right to these opportunities. These opportunities are what make so many…

connect to Stephen King on a deeper level, and I have his writing to thank for this. How characters interact through dialogue reveals a lot about them, although they may not know it themselves. On page 86, King recalls the time the paperback rights to Carrie were bought. He received a large sum of money, which was more than enough to provide for his family. On this page, he uses dialogue to grab the reader's attention and voice his emotions. His use of dialogue is very effective here because…

(1) What is the hypothesis of this paper and where did you find it? The hypothesis of this paper predicts if low-intensity electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are a method of sensory transduction, then it is expected that that EMF can evoke brain potentials like other sensory modalities. This hypothesis can be found at the end of the Abstract and at the end of the second to last paragraph in the Introduction. (2) Is the writer’s voice passive or active and does he appear in the text? If the…

At some point in time, many people will experience problems with their voice. When speaking, words may sound broken, whispery, strangled or hoarse, and a person may struggle just to sound normal. In most cases, these vocal problems eventually go away, but if they don’t, then this condition may be a neurological disorder known as spasmodic dysphonia. Definition and Facts Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that can affect the entire body or a specific body part. The primary…

Formatting is also an important element of business communication. The document must be signed, addressed and correctly attributed. Whenever the title of the addressee is unknown, the gender-neutral Dear Sir or Madam is preferred to Dear Sirs. The same also applies to the use of salutations and gender-specific pronouns such as he and she, which should be avoided whenever possible. The pluralized pronoun everyone is grammatically incorrect, and its use is not recommended. In a similar vein,…

begin the EEG in the priming condition when the participants heard the word “was” + past-tense verb, which is an indicator in English that the sentence is following the passive voice structure. Accounting for EEG limitations There are always aspects that need to be accounted for in an EEG study for it to be accurate, and minimize as much noise as possible. As Steven Luck (2005) mentions, it is first important to avoid physical stimulus confounds when possible. This can be implemented by using…
