Persona-is a voice or mask that an author, speaker, or performer assumes for a particular purpose.

• EXAMPLE: A person who is trying to find a spouse may create a fun and flirty profile on an online dating website, being sure to use positive language and emphasize his or her good attributes. The person is creating a positive public persona of someone it would be fun to date or join in a relationship.• EXAMPLE: Someone goes on a job interview for a job that he is not

100 percent sure he is qualified for. He dresses really professionally, does a lot of research on the company to prepare for the interview and creates a really polished resume. He is trying to create a persona of a professional who is competent and capable of doing the job.

Diction- is word choice that can be positive, negative, or neutral. • Formal Diction- polysyllabic words, profession-specific words• Informal Diction- “laid back” everyday conversational words• Figurative Language- used to create an effect or feeling…exaggeration,

understatement, comparison, a written-out sound, an unspoken statement that the reader knows but the author does not say outright• Literal Language- being straightforward/saying what is meant outright• Concrete Diction- language that describes qualities that can be literally

detected with the five senses • Abstract Diction- language that describes qualities that CAN NOT be

literally detected with the five senses.

“Mr. Chadband is a large yellow man, with a fat smile, and a general appearance of having a good deal of train oil in his system. Mrs. Chadband is a stern, severe-looking, silent woman. Mr. Chadband moves softly and cumbrously, not unlike a bear who has been taught to walk upright. He is very much embarrassed about the arms, as if they were inconvenient to him.”
