Today in class we discussed how to analyze diction. For the first step you select the word or words, The definition of diction is word choice. Step two is determining the denotation and the connotation of the word. After determining, step three is determine if the connotation is positive, neutral or negative.

Back when I was in 3rd grade I used to play basketball. It wasn’t my favorite sport but my mom loves basketball and she used to play so I decided to give it a try just to make her happy. I didn’t hate the sport but I didn’t like it either. Especially the long training days! Playing basketball for that short amount of time helped me realize I’m a girly girl and I do not do sports unless it’s cheerleading. Even though I didn’t like playing basketball I was still somewhat good at it because if I was playing I at least needed to be decent at the sport. But now, I can’t shoot a free-throw to save my life but all that matters is I made my mom happy.
The day my little brother came out the womb was so beautiful I started crying like my puppy just died. He was so precious and small i couldn’t believe I actually had a little brother. I also couldn’t believe my mom waited 17 years to give me a sibling but it’s okay because I’m about to be grown and out the house so she won’t be stressing me out. But I can’t wait to dress him up and go to his games. I know he’s going to a be a heart breaker and have all the girls because he’s so handsome it’s ridiculous. I just know we’re going to be the best of friends!
