1. "The elevation of his diction is pretty average - not rude or flowery - and the sound can be described as both grating and melodious as he switches between describing the horrors and beauties of war." - Becca's Blog

2. " In the excerpt from The Help, Kathryn's literal meaning of certain things are common and colloquial in ways that makes her writing unique." - Book Lover

3. " In Stardust, Neil Gaiman articulates his description of Wall, the people and the area formal, harmonious, flowing, descriptive language where words can be taken for their face value meaning." - Contemplations

4. " The whole work is symbolic and metaphoric, a "noble lie" in which the denotative meaning of the story isn't always true persay, but reveals a deeper truth, transcending the literal meaning." - A Scrap of Parchment

5. "The diction falls into the category of being very denotative with a high and elevated tone wtih a light use of figurative language. The narrator uses only common adjectives such as "old" and "square." - So Many Books, So Little Time

My favorite sentence is sentence 4 becasue it is very descriptive. It uses a varitey of words to decribe the book and it caught my attention.
