Literary analysis terms

• Diction: (word choice)

• The author’s intentional choice of words used to evoke certain feelings and images related to the meaning.

• Words in a text should not be ignored or passed over.• Diction creates ‘voice.’

Diction

• Consider: Potts rattled in the kitchen where Momma was frying corn cakes to go with vegetable soup for supper, and the homey sounds and scents cushioned me as I read of Jane Eyre in the cold English mansion of a colder English gentleman.- Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

- 1. By using the word cushioned, what does Angelou imply about her life and Jane Eyre’s life?- 2. How would replacing cushioned with surrounded change the author’s

meaning?- 3. What is the difference between the cold of the English mansion and the

cold of the English gentleman? What does Angelou’s diction convey about her attitude toward Jane Eyre’s life?
