Do you think that Changez's, or rather Hamid's, ability to make each word seem important comes from his belief that every word is important, or because that is just the way that he speaks. We've made previous observations that he is generally a practical and careful character, this could stretch to his way of speech.luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157134216016718494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543943976527483021.post-78907823075281718602009-03-15T18:14:00.000-07:002009-03-15T18:14:00.000-07:00I think that Hamid's diction is part of who he is ...I think that Hamid's diction is part of who he is as an author. It is painstakingly clear that he is a thoughtful writer and thinks very carefully about which words will appropriately convey his messages. It truly is a treat to read such a well designed and structured piece.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292163444497728627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543943976527483021.post-82567799650853967202009-03-15T13:51:00.000-07:002009-03-15T13:51:00.000-07:00Margaret, you've basically hit the nail on the hea...Margaret, you've basically hit the nail on the head here with that quote. In most books, it's not each individual sentence that makes it good, but it's the arrangement and the way it's all put together. With Hamid on the other hand, each sentence leaves you with something to ponder upon, and each one paints a distinct picture in your mind that brings the story to life.mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209985299860499375noreply@blogger.com
