Kelly walked to the door, slid it open and stepped out slowly yet rapidly. She grazed over the yard entire and watched as the man was lifting the rocks with his wrist and tossing the rock in the water. Everything was not right. The tree overhead cast the man's tall and lanky shadow on the shore. Kelly felt a heart in need to talk to Danny about the mistake she had mad yet her head felt a slight tension between the heart. Before Kelly knew it Danny had come up behind her. She felt horrible for judgin him, but she didn't know what else to believe. "Yah can't tell me yah think i really set dat church on fire could yah?" pleaded Danny. "why din't yah just ask meh? Ah could have told yah dah truth but yah din't give meh time tah give dah answer." Kelly though to feel shamed. She felt that she didn't know who she was anymore no more than she knew who Danny as a person was. And this made her feel grave aggravation.
The three stylistic elements i used were diction. I used phrases highlighted in green to show diction. I used diction to help give the reader a vivid scene in their head. I used the blue highlighted phrases to show the oxymoron like Hurston uses to emphasise or give a greater picture of what is going on in the passage. And the Last element i used is highlighted in pink is when Hurston switched words around in a phrase to give emphasize to the meaning of the words. In this passage i used the switch to emphasize that Kelly was using her heart instead of her head. The theme i used in this passage was judgement. In order to know who one is you have to be able to accept others as who they are internally and externally.
