DIDLS: The Key to TONE
Diction - the connotation of the word choice
What words does the author choose? Consider his/her word choice compared to another. Why did
the author choose that particular word? What are the connotations of that word choice?
Images - vivid appeals to understanding through the senses - concrete language
What images does the author use? What does he/she focus on in a sensory (sight, touch, taste,
smell, etc.) way? The kinds of images the author puts in or leaves out reflect his/her style? Are
they vibrant? Prominent? Plain? NOTE: Images differ from detail in the degree to which they
appeal to the senses.
Details - facts that are included or those that are omitted
What details are does the author choose to include? What do they imply? What does the author
choose to exclude? What are the connotations of their choice of details? PLEASE NOTE: Details are
facts or fact-lets. They differ from images in that they don't have a strong sensory appeal.
Language - the overall use of language, such as formal, clinical, jargon
What is the overall impression of the language the author uses? Does it reflect education? A
particular profession? Intelligence? Is it plain? Ornate? Simple? Clear? Figurative? Poetic? Make
sure you don't skip this step.
Sentence Structure - how structure affects the reader's attitude
What are the sentences like? Are they simple with one or two clauses? Do they have multiple
phrases? Are they choppy? Flowing? Sinuous like a snake? Is there antithesis, chiasmus, parallel
construction? What emotional impression do they leave? If we are talking about poetry, what is
the meter? Is there a rhyme scheme?
DICTION:
Laugh: guffaw, chuckle, titter, giggle, cackle, snicker, roar
Self-confident: proud, conceited, egotistical, stuck-up, haughty, smug, condescending
House: home, hut, shack, mansion, cabin, home, residence
Old: mature, experienced, antique, relic, senior, ancient
Fat: obese, plump, corpulent, portly, porky, burly, husky, full-figured
IMAGES:
The use of vivid descriptions or figures of speech that appeal to sensory experiences helps to
create the author's tone.
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun. (restrained)
An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king. (somber, candid)
He clasps the crag with crooked hands. (dramatic)
Love sets you going like a fat gold watch. (fanciful)
Smiling, the boy fell dead. (shocking)
DETAILS:
Details are most commonly the facts given by the author or speaker as support for the attitude or
tone.
The speaker's perspective shapes what details are given and which are not.
LANGUAGE:
Like word choice, the language of a passage has control over tone.
Consider language to be the entire body of words used in a text, not simply isolated bits of
diction.
For example, an invitation to a wedding might use formal language, while a biology text would use
scientific and clinic.
Emotive language is words that can create the emotion of anger, joy, sorrow acceptance, or disapproval of the writer in their writing. It creates interest for the readers and makes the writing more fascinating.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
5. What is Denotation?
• Denotation is an explicit or literal defitinion that
can be found in any dictionary.
• What a word denotes is its objective meaning.
6. Example of
Denotation
What this picture denotes is
a flower with a sweet smell
that grows on a bush with
thorns on it stems.
We call it a Rose.
7. What is Connotation?
• Connotation is subjective cultural or emotional
association that some word or phrase carries.
• What a word connotes is the ideas and
associations it suggests.
8. Example of
Connotation
The word ‘baby’ literally
means a very young child.
In this picture Spongebob
uses ‘baby’ connotatively to
show his endearment and
affection.
9. Types of Connotations
• Positive Connotation is words that make people
feel good.
• Negative Connotation is words that provoke a
negative emotional response.
• Neutral Connotation means not good or bad;
indifferent; used when the author doesn’t want to
show strong emotions either way.
10. Examples of Types of Connotations
Positive Neutral Negative

11. The Function of Connotations
• To make a persuasive and convincing writing.
• To make the author’s ideas acceptable and
believeable.
• To influence the readers’ thinking.
12. Which one is the best aprroach if you want to

world, filled with the most
extraordinary and unique
fantasies.
• The White Hotel by D.M Thomas
is a highly unrealistic novel;
reading it, I entered into a dream
world, filled with the most
extraordinary and eccentric
fantasies.
14. The use of connotative words is not
always supertitious or bad.
Poets, novelists, and dramatists also
make positive use of connotations.
Their intention is not only deceive the
reader but to make them ‘see’, ‘hear’,
and ‘feel’ through words.
15. Tone and Mood
Two very important aspects of writing that are
normally implied rather than stated.
16. What is Tone?
• Tone is like a tone of voice
• It reflects the author’s attitude toward his or her
subject and sometimes towards his or her
readers.
• Tone can provide a clue to an author’s
purpose.
17. Kinds of Tone
• Objective or subjective tone
• Optimistic or pessimistic tone
• Humorous tone
• Ironic tone
• etc
18. The following paragraphs illustrate different
tones.
• Anas Urbaningrum is everything
a statesperson should be. An
eloquent speaker, he has ability to
choose the right words at the
right moment. Filled with
determination as he is. He will
undoubtedly be elected
president.
• Anas Urbaningrum is a true
politician. A smooth talker, he
knows just what to say and
when to say it. Devour with
ambition as he is. He will
undoubtedly be elected
president.
19. What is Mood?
• Mood is the feeling that a text produces in the
reader.
• Mood produced by a text can be happy, admiring,
enthusiastic, dissaproving, angry, etc.
• Mood can tell you something about the
circumstances surrounding the topic.
20. Can you identify the mood of these paragraphs?
Members of the union leadership met yesterday with management
to debate what they called the “union-busting tactics” of their
employers.
When a representative of management spoke, she was greeted
with a prolonged silence that ended in catcalls and whistles. On
the part of of the workers. Clearly, the audience was not please with
her proposals.
When the meeting ended, union and management left in stony
silence.
21. Summary
• Denotation is an explicit or literal defitinion.
• Connotation is subjective cultural or emotional association.
• Paying attention to connotations of words is particularly
important in helping you understand what is not explicitly
stated in the text, especially tone and mood that is implied
on the text.
22. Thank you for your
attention.
