Final Assessment

Ironman

Ironman is about a boy named Bo. Bo has been fighting with his dad for a while, and has turned his anger towards his teachers in outbursts. Bo trains him self to the limit as a triathlete. Bo is really close to being expelled from school because of all these outbursts with his teachers. Soon enough Bo gets assigned to anger management.

So far this book has been good but I still need to finish the book I am still in the beginning. My guess right now is that Bo freaks out and a whole incident happens in school but this book seems like an exciting book. Another prediction I have is that Bo will have a big fight with his dad.

1.    In this post it shows my voice because it describes the book in my voice and how I would put it in my own words. “Bo is really close to being expelled from school because of all these outbursts with his teachers.” In this quote it shows how I use the word outbursts as important word that show these little outbursts of anger from his Dad. My personality in this is probably like how I emphasis the word outbursts with his Dad and his teachers. This word helps set how important his anger is in the story.

2.    Example of syntax for # 2. “Bo has been fighting with his dad for a while, and has turned his anger towards his teachers in outbursts.” This piece of syntax could be a balance sentence because their likeness in length. An example for Diction in #2. “Bo trains him self to the limit as a triathlete.” In this piece of Diction it could be a piece of Jargon/ low informal because you don’t hear triathlete a lot and a triathlete is “A triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance disciplines.^[1] While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its most popular form, involves swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triathlete
