After the first read-through of "Conscience of a Hacker," I thought, "how is 'The Mentor' using diction, syntax, and tone to effectively convey his message?"
To answer this question I must first get to the bottom of, what are diction, syntax, and tone? Diction is the choice of words an author chooses, the syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to create a well put together sentence, and lastly, tone is the attitude of a place or writing.
The Mentor uses these means of writing to convey his message by creating an image that teenagers could relate to. His diction shows that he wanted to paint an image of the average/general teenager as incompetent in the eyes of an adult.
