MY WORDS: Transition-Wit, Diction Literary Terms MY WORDS: Transition-Wit, Diction Erin Leeds Ms. Curtis English 11 H, Period 3

Transition Definition: Words used to shift from one idea to another. Transition Words: Therefore, consequently, nevertheless, again, while, although…etc. Examples: 1. The dog has two puppies; therefore, she is a mother. 2. The dog ate the food; hence, it was hungry. 3. While eggs are good with bacon, they are not good with chicken.

Understatement Definition: The opposite of a hyperbole; a statement that makes something out to be less than it actually is. Example: 1. It isn’t very serious. 2. “I’m fine.” 3. It’s not as bad as it looks.

Wit Definition: A humorous statement that holds intellectual background. Example: 1. “You can’t be late until you show up.” 2. “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing-after they’ve tried everything else.” 3. “However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”

Diction Definition: The way a writer chooses to write and how it conveys their point of view to the reader or listener. Example: 1. Abraham Lincoln’s carefully worded “Gettysburg Address”. 2. Dr. Seuss’ book, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. 3. Martin Luther King Jr.’s persuasive diction in his “I have a Dream” speech.
