Concept Attainment Style Example: Ain’tOnce a fully legitimate contraction of “am not” employed at least in familiar conversation by speakers of all social classes, ain’t came to be identified with less well-educated people, and in the United States specifically with poor rural dwellers. It’s unfortunate that in writing, its use is restricted to humorous emphasis or idiomatic expressions (“Say it ain’t so!”). RuckusRuckus, probably a mash-up of ruction (“disturbance”) and rumpus (“boisterous activity”) — themselves both dialectal terms — is now used only light-heartedly YonderThis formerly standard term meaning “over there” is now known only in rural dialect (or spoofing of it) or in a poetic sense.

Characterization Example: Abigail Williams can be seen as the lone antagonist who drives the drama within Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.” With the use of manipulation and vengeance to attain what she wants, Abigail’s willingness to disregard Puritan societal restrictions quickly sets her apart from the other characters we’ve been introduced to, thus far. Abigail ‘s manipulation comes out in her relationship with John Proctor, as she demonstrates her cunning perception in these words to him: “I have a sense for heat, John, and yours has drawn me to my window, and I have seen you looking up, burning in your loneliness. Do you tell me that you've never looked up at my window?” (Miller, 1953). In this moment, she enables Proctor to admit his continued affection for her even though he is trying to repair his marriage with his wife. Her vengeance is expressed while speaking with her friends in Act 1: “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you” (Miller, 1953). This threat demonstrates that Abby will go to any length to ensure that she is safe, no matter who else gets hurt.
