Poet

When a poet wrote have to choice and order words and use a tone, and all that is called diction. A poetic diction use elevated language instead of ordinary language and has several levels of diction. The formal diction is the use of elevated language; middle diction is a less formal level of language; and informal diction uses a conversational manner as dialect or jargon. Also the meaning of the word is important in a poem, the denotations and connotations. In “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner”, the words of the poem have denotation and the reader has to decipher to what poem refer to and the tone is serious. In “she being Brand” the author manages the automobile jargon but the denotation is referring to sex and the jargon creates a humorous mood. _________________________________________________________________
