For my 'about me' post on my blog, I decided to write in a conversational tone and present myself in an open way. I did this to display to the reader that my writing reflects me as a person- open. I wanted to include the reader in my blog and did this by asking rhetorical questions- "who isn't?" so they felt hooked onto what they were reading and wanted to continue to do so. I also wanted to include the reader so they felt a sense of empathy towards my piece- understanding how I feel about myself throughout the emotive language I added into my blog.
As the 'about me' blog was written in a conversational tone I wanted to make the piece fast flowing alike the thoughts I was having at that moment. This again reflected me and fulfills the title 'about me' as the blog not only tells the reader of my opinions, but also indicates more personal information such as my thought process.
This is good Kayleigh; it's really hard to critique your own writing so I think you've done a good job. You have discussed your language choices and discourse, so when you're analysing don't forget to apply these frameworks and use the terminology! This was a difficult task and I think you've responded well. The rest will come with practice, and you have made a good start. Well done!
