Diction-Chapter 6

In Trimble's chapter 6 "Diction", he mainly talks about conciseness, vigorous verbs, and freshness. The use of vigorous verbs felt rather familiar to me. All through out grade school teachers would always tell me to expand my vocabulary. Although, I've always had trouble doing so. Writing is not one of my strong points, but i hope to improve. After reading this chapter, i received a lot of insight on what i need to improve on. I should not use vague pronouns such as "it". I need to identify and give things the dignity of their names. I also need to qualify and load words with meaning by using adjectives. Hopefully after following this advice, my writing will improve.
