A shorter poem may focus more thoroughly on diction, or the author’s specific choice of words, rather than things such as rhyme scheme or meter. Langston Hughes poem “Suicide’s Note” is a perfect example of this. Because it is only twelve words long, every single word is important and chosen carefully.

Firoozeh Dumas’s essay “The ‘F  Word” is not what audience think it would be about.  When the audience hears the someone mention the “F” word all sorts of ideas pop into their head.

people have made choices that have not been considered “socially acceptable” by their peers. From one choice, these peers will shun, bully and ridicule. In Cold Sassy Tree, Rucker Blakeslee tested the society’s limits when he remarried to a young woman, Miss Love Simpson, shortly after the death of his first wife. The town found it repulsive that a man would not wait a couple years, much less a couple months before even thinking about remarrying. Miss Love and Rucker made their choice, although everyone

the sense of the new language choices I have since developed and the knowledge I have gained. In going from a basic language arts class to a college language arts class it’s a whole new perspective.
