• Diction is the choice of words writers use to communicate their ideas. They base their choice of diction on the content, type or piece of writing, and audience.
• Writing a poem vs. an academic research paper
• Fiction vs. Nonfiction���
• The emotional response that the writer wishes to evoke in the reader through a story is called Mood.
• Words that are commonly used to describe mood are: happy, irritable, melancholy, peaceful, energetic, detached, distracted.
