In every book you read literary elements will be everywhere like they have been from chapter 1 up to chapter12 in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry. Like it can be seen in page 86, "This time, as he lay basking in the wonderful warmth, he felt the passage of time. His real self was aware that it was only a minute or two; but his other, memory-receiving self felt hours pass in the sun. His skin began to sting. Restlessly he moved one arm, bending it, and felt a sharp pain in the crease of his inner arm at the elbow." The reader can immediately see that the elemnt being used is diction. You can practically picture Jonas's actions as he is being sunburned because of the author's word choice which makes it real enough to picture it in our heads. Diction is an important element in one's writing like it is in the author's itself.
