Cody

In the movie about two boys and their life in the country, Cody has a very unique diction. I had noticed that his diction changes in several different situations. While being interviewed for the movie he is quiet and often mumbles expressing slight shyness. When Cody is talking to his grandmother, he replies extremely quick and often with only one word. This shows that Cody is often disinterested and prefers to stay quiet. Cody is also very defensive. This character trait is shown when he argues with the history teacher. Cody increases the tone in which he talks to the teacher and is much louder during this scene. Another trait expressed by Cody's diction is that he is very rebellious. When you first see Cody you can notice that he is rebellious because of the way that he dresses and that he paints his nails black. This rebelliousness is emphasized when you witness Cody while in class. Cody of often talks during class and gets in trouble because of what he says. Lastly, Cody's diction shows that he is a good person. Cody is in a band that plays metal music but since he does not like the lack of morals in metal music, he creates his own sounds that have good messages and morals. The diction in his songs show his true personality. Cody has a various ways of talking and each show a different characteristics of him. All in all, Cody may not be normal when it comes to the rest of society but he is a humble person.
