STANDARDS Reading 3.1: Analyze characteristics of subgenres (e.g. allegory) that are used in poetry, prose, plays, etc.

IMAGERY  IMAGERY (CONTINUED):  When discussing imagery, be clear about what type of imagery is present:  Visual imagery= what you can SEE  Auditory imagery= what you can HEAR  Tactile imagery= what you can FEEL/TOUCH  Olfactory imagery= what you can SMELL  Gustatory imagery= what you can TASTE *Note: When you look at imagery That you can feel/touch (tactile), You will NOT be looking at Imagery that you can feel emotionally, But rather physically.

DICTION= word choice  When writing, mature writers think carefully about each word that they include to assure that the perfect word is chosen to get across the exact emotions, ideas and understanding.

Denotation= the literal, dictionary definition of a word  The words “plump”, “fat” and “obese” literally describe a person who is overweight. This is the dictionary definition of these three words. However...

Connotation= the emotions, feelings or ideas that are attached to a certain word.  The word “plump” has the connotation of being pleasantly fat, almost in a cute way.  Plump is often used to describe cute, overweight little old ladies. Santa Claus is also described as being a jolly, plump old man.  The positive emotional feelings (or connotations ) that are attached to this word show how we use connotation to control people’s minds about a subject.

In “The Inferno”, Dante says that his heart is “pierced” with “terror”. He could have just said that he was scared, but these words have strong connotations  How does the diction “pierced my heart” help you to understand his emotion?  How does the word “terror” help you to understand what he’s feeling?
