Cody vs. Chris

The bleak diction of Cody’s language and the average diction of Chris’s language portray the way the two teenagers act throughout life. Cody is standing in his temporary guardian’s house responding to her questions with dull yes or no answers. When Cody was at his alternative school eating with his friends, he was being very disrespectful towards a teacher. Using provocative language is a sign of little diction. Chris on the other had demonstrates intermediate diction. At the beginning of the movie, Chris is receiving his diploma and gives a little speech. His terminology is average for normal humans. Also, Chris’s imagination has a great deal of affect on his life. He creates this hero called Xavier. Whenever Chris is sad or feels alone, he pretends he is Xavier knowing that he can conquer the world. Chris gives advice to his younger sister that has been having trouble at school with bullies. He advises her not to let the bullying get to her. Another example of Chris having a higher diction then Cody is because he has a sense of humor. Chris will laugh and chuckle at his own jokes while Cody will give a polite laugh or maybe a fake smile.
