Analyze the diction in “The Great Figure”
Among the rainAnd lightsI saw the figure 5In goldOn a redFiretruckMovingTenseUnheededTo gong clangsSiren howlsAnd wheels rumblingThrough the dark city.

SyntaxO Syntax is the arrangement of words
and sentence structure. O We are going to read a poem about
syntax, that also illustrates the power of syntax, by Gary Provost called “This Sentence Has Five Words.”
Analyze the syntax in “The Great Figure.”
Among the rainAnd lightsI saw the figure 5In goldOn a redFiretruckMovingTenseUnheededTo gong clangsSiren howlsAnd wheels rumblingThrough the dark city.
I saw a figure 5 in the rain. It was gold. It was on a red firetruck. It moved stiffly and unnoticed with loud noises. The wheels moved through the city at night.
Drenched in gold, I peered through the rain and lights to see the figure 5 moving tense, unheeded to the gong clangs. The siren howls. The wheels rumble. The city is dark.
IronyThe Opposite of What is Expected
OVERBALO Opposite of what someone has said is
meant
OSITUATIONALO The outcome is opposite of what is
expected
ODRAMATICO The audience knows more about the
situation than the characters
Verbal Irony vs. Sarcasm
O Opposite of what someone has said is meant. It is intentional to say one thing and mean the opposite. O “Soft like concrete”O “Clear like mud”O “Pleasant like a root canal”
O Verbal irony sounds sarcastic but the purpose of sarcasm is to cause pain or harm. Verbal irony is just to imply the opposite meaning. O Sarcasm can be a form of verbal irony but verbal
irony is not necessarily sarcastic. O https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiR-bnCHIYo
Situational IronyIS NOT JUST COINCIDENCE.
O Situational irony occurs only when the exact opposite of what is meant to happen, happens. O When you wash your car and then it rains…Is
that ironic?O There MUST be something that leads a person
to think that a particular event or situation is unlikely happen for it to be ironic. O When a meteorologist washes their car and it
gets rained on would be ironic because a meteorologist would expect it to be sunny since it is his/her job to predict the weather.

Dramatic IronyO The audience knows more about the situation than
the characters. O This form of irony is used as a tool for engaging the
audience by building curiosity about what will happen since the audience knows something that the characters don’t.
O By allowing the reader and audience to know more things ahead of the characters, the irony puts the reader and audience above the characters and encourages them to hope, to fear, and anticipate the moment when the character would find out the truth behind the situations and events of the story.

O Take notes on how to identify tone and mood—especially how to differentiate the two!
What is the mood and tone?
From My Brother’s Arm“Just look at the Titanic. The captain said, ‘Even God can’t sink that ship.’ Then on the first voyage across the Atlantic, boom, it hit an iceberg and sank. And as soon as the daredevil utters ‘piece of cake’ before attempting a stunt, he is doomed” (Smith 111).
Tone – Critical/SarcasticMood – Cynical/Humorous
