Communication Strategies of a Hacker
Diction: the collection of words an author uses
Syntax: the way an author arranges words
Tone: the author's attitude towards the audience, the topic, or the characters
"The Mentor's" use of diction, syntax, and tone effectively convey his message because everything he uses- from sophisticated words to grammar that any elementary kid would understand- they all fit together to convey a meaningful message. His diction, using basic grammar for the most part, is balanced with the sophisticated words that he adds in some places, to keep readers interested. "The Mentor" seizes a beneficial opportunity to keep the reader's intrigued by varying his syntax, as in he writes in the perspective of a teenager -to be able to receive understanding from that age group- but also writes to be able to appeal to an older audience with the use of his word choices and tone. His tone, the cherry on top of his work, allows readers to feel the message he is conveying- they feel and understand the purpose/claim he is trying to covey. His tone seems annoyed towards others, specifically older people, because he, a teenager, feels like he is never understood and receives criticism for such small things no matter how good or bad. The use of all three components, diction, syntax, and tone blend together to create a form for him to convey his message through many factors.
Notes:
-Sophisticated in some places, for example "apathetic" (meaning: showing or feeling no emotions or concerns)
-For the most part, it was written with grammar that any kid from an elementary playground would be able to read
-Varies his syntax
-writing on behalf of a teenager but also to appeal an older audience
