This week the chart you've been working on since Week 02 should be complete.  The assignment is really super simple.  All you need to do is fill in the chart with a definition of the element (plot, conflict, setting, etc.) and an example of how that works in a story.  You don't need to use your story for the example.  You can use an example from the text or from other stories you've read.  It is important to remember to have both pieces, however, the definition and the example.  The chart already has the element of diction filled out with a definition and example, so use that as your guide.

Diction	Diction refers to the words you choose to convey voice, characterization, setting, symbolism, etc. "So we decided to hang him" in Donald Barthelme's story uses blunt, understated, and tough diction to convey the crazy character and absurd mood of the story.
