4. Diction-5 Consider: Analysis: Apply:
“A rowan* like a lipsticked girl.” Seamus Heaney, “Song” Field Work
* a small deciduous tree native to Europe, having white flower clusters and orange berries.
Analysis:
Other than the color, what comes to mind when you think of a lipsticked girl?
How would it change the meaning and feeling of the line if, instead of lipsticked girl, the author wrote girl with lipstick on?
Apply:
Write a simile comparing a tree with a domesticated animal. In your simile, use a word that is normally used as a noun (like lipstick) as an adjective (like lipsticked).

5. Diction-5 Consider: Analysis:
“A rowan* like a lipsticked girl.” Seamus Heaney, “Song” Field Work
Analysis:
Other than the color, what comes to mind when you think of a lipsticked girl? It connotes a flashiness, a brassy, in-your-face showiness. Because of the unusual usage as an adjective lipsticked becomes the focus of the both the line and the image of the girl.
How would it change the meaning and feeling of the line if, instead of lipsticked girl, the author wrote girl with lipstick on? The change would take away the line’s power to surprise and shock. Words used in unusual ways make us rethink and re-examine the meaning. Without the description, the image becomes less vivid and memorable.
