L14: Analyzing Word Choice 137

Part 1: Introduction

Have you ever heard someone say “It’s the little things that matter”? In everyday life, little

things can make you happy, sad, annoyed, or excited. In literature and poetry, the little

things that matter are words, chosen carefully by the author. Words affect meaning and

establish the tone, or the attitude of the narrator or speaker. Word choice also is

important because it can create the mood, or atmosphere, in a story or poem.

Read the poem below, paying close attention to poet’s choice of action verbs and

descriptive words.

Murky Monday. Lockers slam,

Doorways clog and hallways jam.

Sweetest Ruby smiles so wide—

She can’t see me shyly hide . . .

Wondrous Monday. Lockers shine.

Ruby smiled at me in line.

Circle words in each line that help you understand the speaker’s feelings.

Read the chart below to help you analyze the poet’s word choices in each line.

Lines Words with Positive Meaning Words with Negative Meaning

1–2 murky, slam, clog, jam

3–4 sweetest, smiles shyly, hide

5–6 wondrous, shine, smiled

Just as movie directors pay attention to the smallest details when setting up each scene,

authors pay attention to each word when they create poems and stories. In this poem, the

poet uses words to show how the speaker’s whole attitude changes after Ruby smiles at

him. Analyzing an author’s choice of words will help you understand a text’s meaning,

mood, and tone.

What aspect of life brings the monster sheer joy?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

<em>Referring to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein</em>

<em>I believe the answer is: </em><em>The coming of spring with its colors and smells</em>

<em>Ever since the monster is created, he always hated himself for his existence, and so do other people who judge the monster from his appearance alone.</em>

<em>But in the story, the author mentioned that the monster always find solace in soft colors and smells of a springtime forest, which help him to survive his suffering.</em>
