MAIN POINT
What the author is trying to tell the reader.
![Page 14: BOOM Word Wall. RHETORICAL ANALYSIS ESSAY An essay where you analyze the author’s argument, looking at the author’s rhetorical appeals and style.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e245503460f94b12ec8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DICTIONThe author’s choice of words.When analyzing diction, look for specific words or short phrases that seem stronger than the others. Diction is NEVER the entire sentence!
Also, look for a pattern (or similarity) in the words the writer chooses (ex. Do the words imply sadness, happiness, etc?). This pattern helps to create a particular kind of diction.
![Page 15: BOOM Word Wall. RHETORICAL ANALYSIS ESSAY An essay where you analyze the author’s argument, looking at the author’s rhetorical appeals and style.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e245503460f94b12ec8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DICTION CONTINUED
This pattern can also include repetition of the same words or phrases. Repeating the same word or phrase helps the reader emphasize a point, feeling, etc.
Effective diction is shaped by words that are clear, concrete, and exact. Good writers avoid words like pretty, nice, and bad because they are not specific enough. Instead, they rely on words that invoke a specific effect in order to bring the reader into the event being described.

SYNTAX CONTINUED
Schemes One aspect of syntax is schemes. Most
English sentences follow a subject-verb-object pattern (ex. I went to the store.) Deviating from this pattern can serve to add emphasize to the author’s ideas.
Sentence Length Another aspect of syntax is sentence length.
Good writers will use a variety for emphasis. Short sentences – imply straightforward Long sentences – imply descriptive, detailed
