Diction: Using Connotations of Verbs
Lesson #2Slide5
Meanwhile, the United States Army,
thirsting
for revenge, was
prowling
the country north and west of the Black Hills, killing Indians wherever they could be found.
- Dee Brown,
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

Diction: Using words to develop level of formality
Lesson #3Slide8
Most men wear their belts low here, there being so many
outstanding
bellies, some big enough to have names of their own and be formally introduced. Those men don’t
suck
them in or hide them in loose shirts; they
let them hang free
, they pat them, they stroke them as they stand around and talk.
- Garrison Keillor, “Home,”
Lake
Wobegon Days
What is the usual meaning of outstanding? What is its meaning here? What does the pun reveal about the author’s attitude toward his subject? How would the level of formality change if we changed suck to pull and
let them hang free to accept them?
