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. And step four is discuss how the word creates an effect on the audience.
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.
Today in class we went over flash cards for extra credit. Because of testing we haven’t been doing too much in any of my classes. Today I was also suppose to go pick up my dress for prom but the man who’s designing it doesn’t have it ready yet so I have to wait until tomorrow. So today was an ok day.
