Grew from the Concrete” by Tupac Shakur‚ my personal takeaway from the poem is the importance of perseverance. To me‚ it seems that in this poem it alludes to hard work and proving any doubters wrong in the process and this can be seen by “Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet” (3-4). One literary element that was evident in the poem was symbols. One symbol is clear in the very opening line “Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?” (1-2) this

planned‚ elegant‚ and organized‚ the diction and syntax are clearly expressed through the author’s word choice and phrasing. The diction is very well thought and relates exceptionally well to the passage at hand. Yann Martel uses rather formal language for the diction‚ which give this particular passage a lyrical and philosophical sense‚ an example of this would be the usage of “nonetheless” (Martel) instead of its more casual synonyms‚ though‚ and yet. Another example would be the word “invert” (Martel)

In her poem “Circe‚ After his Departure‚” Sewell’s diction characterizes Circe’s desire as a feeling that occurs internally rather than directly relating to Odysseus. Several of Sewell’s specific word choices repudiate the concept that Circe is passionately yearning for Odysseus. Sewell describes that Circe “still thinks of him‚/ still gazes idly out at a horizon on which no vague blur/or bright spot [...] appears” (2-4). Sewell’s choice of the word “idly” (3) contradicts the intense emotional attachment

Annie Proulx’s language and diction in the story is interesting. Instead of writing in complete sentences shes writes small phrases. Although the phrases and random words may sound confusing and out of place I think that they give a much more clear representation of the setting and the story. Instead of using long word sentences Proulx uses specific words that stand out in the reader’s mind. It helps the reader picture everything easily and she really gets the point across with one concise and powerful
