L14: Analyzing Word Choice 137
Part 1: Introduction
Have you ever heard someone say “It’s the little things that matter”? In everyday life, little
things can make you happy, sad, annoyed, or excited. In literature and poetry, the little
things that matter are words, chosen carefully by the author. Words affect meaning and
establish the tone, or the attitude of the narrator or speaker. Word choice also is
important because it can create the mood, or atmosphere, in a story or poem.
Read the poem below, paying close attention to poet’s choice of action verbs and
descriptive words.
Murky Monday. Lockers slam,
Doorways clog and hallways jam.
Sweetest Ruby smiles so wide—
She can’t see me shyly hide . . .
Wondrous Monday. Lockers shine.
Ruby smiled at me in line.
Circle words in each line that help you understand the speaker’s feelings.
Read the chart below to help you analyze the poet’s word choices in each line.
Lines Words with Positive Meaning Words with Negative Meaning
1–2 murky, slam, clog, jam
3–4 sweetest, smiles shyly, hide
5–6 wondrous, shine, smiled
Just as movie directors pay attention to the smallest details when setting up each scene,
authors pay attention to each word when they create poems and stories. In this poem, the
poet uses words to show how the speaker’s whole attitude changes after Ruby smiles at
him. Analyzing an author’s choice of words will help you understand a text’s meaning,
mood, and tone.

Which answer choice shows how a historical fact was altered in the story “A Fateful Journey?”
Answer:
I hope this helps :)
Explanation:
The author of A fateful Journey uses historical fact from Moving to America in order to influence his story and its effect as a whole.
The author actively choses which historical facts will be used, which will be excluded but also if they need to be modified in order to make the reading more engaging or apealing to the reader. The result is what critics call historiographic metafiction.
Historical accounts describe the condition of the ship and the immigrants moving to America, giving details on how uncomfortable and crowded it was. The author uses this information to add realism to his story and make it look like a real historical account.
On the other hand, he also omitts other facts like the harsh reality faced by the immigrants including the hardship of the long trip, the feuds between immigrants of different nationalities and also the hard process of being questioned and admitted or excluded when landing on Ellis Island. Intead, the author focuses on the more positive aspects like the songs and dances and how the immigrants cheered together in orther to achieve a lighter mood.

Using what the text explicitly says, as well as what you have inferred, is the speaker reliable? Do you believe everything he says? Is there anything in the poem that would give you reason to doubt what he says? In Annabel Lee
Answer and Explanation:
1. The speaker is not reliable because he presents the story from his own perspective. This makes the reader only know the point of view of the speaker who can manipulate the story in any way he wants, since only he knows it. This shows that he is not to be trusted, so it is not possible to believe everything he says.
2. A part of the poem that can promote doubts about his words is when he does not give a name to the place where Annabel Lee lived and talks about her feelings as if he can read her mind.

Which type of text structure answers the questions WHAT happened and WHY?
The question is incomplete, and the full version can be found on quizizz.
Answer: Cause & Effect
Explanation:
Cause and effect is a type of text structure, meaning a specific method to arrange information while writing. A text that has been structured as cause and effect provides reasons to why something happened and establishes a cause and effect relationship between two different events.
A chronological structure is wrong because it would present the events in sequential order.
A problem-solution structure is wrong because it would define a problem and a way to resolve it, while a Compare/Contrast structure is wrong because it would establish a comparison between two different ideas or events.

Answer:
trees
Explanation:
your mother is in critical condition while laboring your sibling according to the doctor only one has thr chance to survive . Who you want to kept alive?? your mother or your sibling
your stand and Evidence. why?
Answer:
The mother
Explanation:
Personally, I'd rather have my mother stay alive than my sibling. To begin, there's a high chance that the mother is still able to bear children. Next, seeming as the mother is in critical condition, it's likely that the sibling could be born with a defect, or multiple. And lastly, if the mother were to die, it would be difficult to raise the sibling with the limited experience with parenthood that I have. So, to conclude, I would rather my mother continue to live than my sibling.
