5. DICTION, IMAGERY AND MOOD

6.  Diction refers to the words chosen by the author for the text. For example: “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” – Jack Kerouac, On the Road Why choose words like “mad” and “burn”? DICTION

7.  Connotation – the idea or feeling the word invokes in you.  Couch – sleep, comfort, naptime, TV, football, dinner, etc.  Denotation – the actual definition of the word; it’s literal meaning.  Couch – a long piece of upholstered furniture for people to sit on. CONNOTATION VS. DENOTATION

8.  Diction (word choice) is directly related to IMAGERY.  IMAGERY is an author's use of descriptive language that appeals to human senses to deepen the reader's understanding of the work. Powerful forms of imagery engage all of the senses.  Sight TasteTouch  SmellSound IMAGERY
