Tim O'Brien, the author of the book, used many forms of diction in his writing. This included short dialogue, long, descriptive sentences, and repetition. Diction was one of the reasons why the book caught interest to readers and it caused the book to have an unique tone. ]]> 2016-12-06 15:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tiersteinrobert/81bf8gaucvv9/wish/142042211 tiersteinrobert https://padlet.com/tiersteinrobert/81bf8gaucvv9/wish/142167355 Last year I once read a book called "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. Holden Caulfield is an unreliable narrator and showed unique diction in the book. This is because he makes many grammatical mistakes. This includes repeating the phrase "sort of" and "goddamn" very often even though they are not commonly used in formal writing. He also writes very long paragraphs that have little or no relation to the rest of the chapter. Finally, he showed a casual and rebellious “anti-phony” attitude that can seem controversial even to people today.]]> 2016-12-06 21:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tiersteinrobert/81bf8gaucvv9/wish/142167355 “The prime minister has also reportedly paid for diction lessons to smooth out her rough Neapolitan accent.”-Barbie Latzu Nadeau. tiersteinrobert https://padlet.com/tiersteinrobert/81bf8gaucvv9/wish/142169667 This quote was written for The Daily Beast on December 16, 2012.
