Diction and Syntax Diction Definition Diction can be defined as style of speaking or writing, determined by the choice of words by a speaker or a writer. Diction, or choice of words, often separates good writing from bad writing. It depends on a number of factors. Firstly, the word has to be right and accurate. Secondly, words should be appropriate to the context in which they are used. Lastly, the choice of words should be such that the listener or reader understands easily. Proper diction, or proper choice of words, is important to get the message across. On the other hand, the wrong choice of words can easily divert listeners or readers, which results in misinterpretation of the message intended to be conveyed. Types of Diction

AP WORLD HISTORY Continuity and Change Over Time Essays A CCOT question is similar to a comparative one, the key difference being instead of comparing between two places during the same time, one is comparing between two times, often in the same place. The structure for a CCOT thesis is simpler than for a comparative thesis, but shares the following elements: 1. It is clear ? it clearly responds to the question and is on topic. 2. It is comprehensive ? it addresses the whole prompt, and 3. It is analytical ? it establishes clear categories of ?continuity? versus ?change?. Compositionally, a CCOT essay is simpler than that of a comparative essay. Your overall structure will look something like this: I. Thesis that identifies continuities versus changes

Erica Gonzales Mrs. Wilhite English 10 Pre-AP 3 March 2012 To Fight or Not to Fight: America?s Choice The Crisis is a collection is a collection of essays written during the American Revolutionary War by Thomas Paine. The first essay of The Crisis addresses the crisis the Americans were facing during that time. In ?The Crisis No. 1?, Paine motivates Americans to stand up and help America gain independence from Britain by employing words of encouragement and assurance that the fight will be worth their freedom and by insisting that the British king?s tyranny will cause them to suffer if they do not attempt to help defend their nation.
