Diction and figurative language are both literary terms that are commonly used in writing to demonstrate the tone an author is using. Diction impacts the author's tone by the style of speaking the author chooses to use through the effectiveness of his words. An author may choose to write figuratively, literally, or poetically......Figurative language impacts authors tone and characterization by a writer choosing to write symbolically and dramatically instead of straight forward literal meaning. Characters can range from every day objects to nature.
please vote my answer brainliest. thanks!
I think D is the best answer choice. for a work written around the time of the salem witch trials, you can better understand why extreme fear and condemnation of witchcraft might show up, and the author's purpose is a major thing to understand a work. C doesn't really make sense, because historical context is based on facts, so the context doesn't so much help you understand an author's attitude/opinion. B is true to some degree, but D is still a stronger answer as B is somewhat circular; historical context is an inherent part of a historical character? and A doesn't even make sense to me but i personally would go with D
The fallacy that can be identified and that can be discredited is the idea that African American people are inferior based on perceptions from an earlier time.
