3. Diction-4 Consider: Analysis: Apply:
“The man sighed hugely.” E. Annie Proulx, The Shipping News
Analysis:
What does it mean to sigh hugely?
How would the meaning of the sentence change if we rewrote it as:
The man sighed loudly
Apply:
Fill in the blank with an adverb.
The man coughed _______________
Your adverb should make the cough express an attitude. For example, the cough could express contempt, desperation, or propriety. Do not state the attitude. Instead, let the adverb imply it.

4. Diction-4 Consider: Analysis:
“The man sighed hugely.” E. Annie Proulx, The Shipping News
Analysis:
What does it mean to sigh hugely? To sigh hugely is to sigh in a tremendous way. It implies that the sigh is loud, extended, and profound enough to be seen and heard by an observer.
The change diminishes the precision of the sentence by giving the sigh a more general description. It lessens the power to recreate the scene in the reader’s mind. The change evokes only one dimension of the sigh-its sound-thereby abridging the word’s complexity and immediacy.
