  3. Diction • Word choice intended to convey a certain effect. • Example: -You CAN clean your room! -You MIGHT want to clean your room! -You WILL clean your room!

  4. Syntax • The arrangement of words and order of grammatical elements in a sentence • The way a writer puts words together to make meaningful elements, such as phrases and clauses • Greek prefix syn=together • Rook tax=arrangement or order • Examples: synthesis, synonym, taxidermy

  5. Imagery • The words or phrases a writer uses to represent persons, objects, actions, feelings, and ideas descriptively by appealing to the senses

  6. Tone • A writer’s or speaker’s attitude toward the subject. Tone is conveyed through the writer’s choice of words and details. Example: “Don’t use that tone with me!”

  8. Compound Complex Sentence • A sentence that has two or more independent clauses and one or more subordinate clauses • Example: I was my parents’ first joy, and in their joy, they gave me the name that would haunt me for the rest of my life, Immaculeta Uzoma Achilike.

  16. Point of View -refers to the perspective from which a narrative is told -1st person-I -2ndperson-You -3rdperson-he, she

  17. Periodic Sentence • One that makes sense fully only when the reader reaches the end of the sentence • -emphasizes the idea in the main clause by making the reader wait for it • -Example: Then, as the last couple of weeks of school dragged on, the city of Paterson becoming a concrete oven, we labored like frantic Roman slaves to build a banquet hall.

  18. Cumulative Sentence • One that makes complete sense if brought to close before it’s actual ending • Example: Her “senator” looked uncomfortable, glancing around at his buddies, perhaps waiting for the ridicule that he would surely get in the locker room later.

  19. Balanced Sentence • -ideas of similar weight are expressed in similar grammatical structures or lengths. • Example: …I read and understood Camus’ statement about the subject: if love were easy, life would be too simple.

  20. Bandwagon • Advertisers make it seem as if everyone is buying this product, so you better buy too • “The best car of the year is here…all your friends and neighbors are driving one…” • How does this make you feel if you don’t own the car?
