Answer:
- It makes the narrator seem disciplined.
Explanation:
Diction or word-choice always plays a vital role in creating the intended picture, tone, or mood through vivid descriptions and details. It assists the author to leave the desired impact on the audience and elicit an intended response from them.
In the given excerpt, the words or diction express the idea that 'makes the narrator look disciplined.' <u>The words like 'hoped', 'asked'. 'found the dugout', and the words he uses to describe others like 'the major was a little man, he was too kind', etc. imply that the narrator is a systematic and orderly man</u>.
Answer:
It was sunny that Friday morning, I had just received my paycheck and I was on my way to go shopping.
I was confident, I was happy, I felt uninhibited because I felt powerful due to the new amount reflecting on my account balance and I was on my way to splurge some cash.
Little did I know that I was menstruating that day and was not prepared for it. I greeted people loudly as I got to the store and entered to make my purchases. Nobody told me I had a red stain on my skirt and it was the kind security man that called my attention to it, with almost a sad smile, "You're messed up, girl".
It was very humiliating to think that people had been laughing at me all these while and I was feeling so confident. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
