Diction through the novel Diction is the author's choice of words John Steinbeck chooses to use a certain kind of word choice with the way the characters speak, but uses different word choices for the way he describes the scenery Ex: The way that certain characters talk as if they were less educated than the others "The deep green pool of the Salinas River was still in the late afternoon. Already the sun had left the valley to go climbing up the slopes of the Gabilan mountains, and the hilltops were rosy in the sun" (Steinbeck 99). "'What kinda harm am I doin' to you? Seems like they ain't none of them cares how I gotta live. I tell you I ain't used to livin' like this. I coulda made somethin' of myself.' She said darkly, "Maybe I will yet'" (Steinbeck 88).
