The Chase: Analyzing Diction

On Thursday, we read "The Chase" by Annie Dillard in order to observe and analyze a writer's use of diction.  I assigned one paragraph of this essay to each student, and he/she had about 10 minutes to practice analyzing the EFFECT of the diction and how it contributes to the tone and purpose of the essay.
