Countee Cullen's "Incident"
denotation- the actual meaning of the word
connotation- the implied meaning of the word/associations
ex. It was a dark day in America.
denotation-literally dark, black, colorwise/weather
connotation-sad (9/11)day of mourning, etc.
diction-author's word choice
*Think of the Countee Cullen poem "Incident". If he chose to instead say "he called me a bad name" instead of the word that he used, the meaning would have less of an impact.
