and tone come a long way in making a story whole. Diction is the deliberate choice of a style of language for a desired effect or tone. The words chosen achieve a particular effect, whether it be formal, informal, or colloquial. For example, Nathaniel Hawthorn used formal diction in writing The Scarlet Letter whereas Mark Twain’s diction in multiple of his works is informal. Theme is the central idea of a literary work.

the Unseen A typical high school student like Cedric Jennings in the novel ‘A hope in the Unseen’ would never prefer to write on the style and voice of a novel over a mathematical derivation of two pages.
