Example #1 In his tragedy address, Ronald Reagan uses positive diction to honor the losses of the Challenger Seven to help mourning families. Before listing the names of the fallen, Reagan emphasizes that “[Americans have] forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle” and that the Challenge Seven “did their jobs brilliantly” (2). Reagan uses words like “courage” and “brilliantly” as an attempt to ease the families of the Challenger Seven. He switches his tone from solemn to reassuring and light-hearted. By using uplifting diction, Reagan’s attitude serves as a light in the times of dark mourning for the families.
Anything unfinished, please complete at home for next class. Mark up for ELP, Anaphora, Allusions, Metaphors. There are other devices, but those are the main ones…think of the devices from Challenger.
