Bodily Harm Margaret Atwood
1,054 words
Margaret Atwood in her novels, short stories and
even poetry uses a similar style of writing. It is
a style that is not only distinctive but also
effective. Her sense of description is one of her
best talents. It allows her to create pieces of
work that constantly reinforce her themes of
political chaos and the effect that a patriarchal
society has on women. As a feminist writer, much
of her work deals with how men not only empower
women but how they manage to hurt each other.

After reading both? Tell All the Truth but Tell It

between the two poems is both poets? use of
diction. Dickinson makes use of abstract diction
in her poem, using words like bright, delight,
superb, and dazzle. Using the word? truth? in
itself is an enormous abstraction. Hughes,
however, uses more concrete diction, with words
such as raisin, fester, sore, meat, and load.
These are actual, physical th...
