In Audubon’s essay, he uses “objective” diction to create impartial and precise aspects of the birds in flock, with words such as “extreme beauty” and “immense legions.” He uses words such as these to not compare the birds to actual life, but to describe the image he sees and how it makes him feel. In contrast, Dillard’s essay use a more “poetic” command of language to compare the birds with words such as “loosened skein” and “unravel.” The contrast between these two different
