The Giver's literary elements

In the story, The Giver by Lois Lowry, one of the literary element found in the book is diction. This element can be found on page 57. " she skipped me" is an example of diction. The author is trying to show that something important will happen or just happen. this can be seen on page 60 " Jonas has not been assigned......Jonas is selected". I agree with that they author is trying to show something important because after all the assignment was given out, the chief elder explain that Jonas becomes the receiver of memories. In every ceremony that was held in the community, one one dare to make a mistake unless otherwise. this can be seen on page 57 "the chief elder made no mistake. not a the ceremony of twelve". diction can sometime create mood. for example on page 57 " he felt dizzy and couldn't focus his attention" Truly diction can create many things that can make you and the character wonder
