If a reader were to examine the vocabulary used in the novel, he<br> or she would be analyzing what?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The answer is that the reader would be analyzing the <u>diction</u> of a novel.

Explanation:

Diction refers to the linguistic choices a writer makes to effectively convey an idea, a point of view, or tell a story. The utilization of diction is the careful selection of words to communicate a message or establish a particular voice or writing style. For example, flowy, figurative language creates colorful prose, while a more formal vocabulary with concise and direct language can help a main point to come across as clear and precise.    

Writers use diction in order to choose specific words and phrases depending on the outcome they’re trying to achieve. Diction can:  

  • Create a certain tone that supports purpose. The purpose of a piece of writing determines its diction. In literature and fiction writing, writers often use informal diction and figures of speech—words used for non-literal meanings, like similes and metaphors. If a scientist is publishing a paper on their research, however, the language will be technical, concise, and formal, written for a specific audience.
  • Support the setting. In fiction writing, the language an author uses supports the basic story elements, like setting. Diction helps establish when and where a story is set by using language native to that time and place, which is called colloquial diction. For example, a story set in New York City will have a different style of language compared to a story that takes place in London.
  • Establish a narrative voice and tone. A writer’s attitude towards the subject of a story comes through in the words used throughout the story. This helps establish tone and impacts a reader's emotional response. For instance, the tone of a horror novel will be very different to that of a romance novel.
  • Bring characters to life. A writer can tell a reader a lot about characters through their dialogue. The way a character uses diction reflects personal details like age and gender, background, social setting, and profession.

In at least 150 words, describe two of the challenges that American society faced after World War II
Sergio [31]

Although the Uinited States was in a better economic position than any other countries after World War II, after a short period new challenges developed.

The most important and known was the menace fo communism that the URSS represented. By 1948, the Cold War had emerged leading to many tensions and conflicts in the years to come. An example of this was the Cuban missile crisis which put the world at the edge of war.

Another challenge was characterized by women. While male soldiers were on the battle front, women took their places in factories, giving them some empowerment. After the war ended, they were forced to return to their homes and accept the role of perfect housewives and mothers. Soldiers wanted to marry young and have children, causing the baby boom. This led to some tensions and the growth of the feminist movement.
