DIALOGUE - conversation between people. Always recognizable by quotation marks. Example: "Hi Joe. Where are you going?" she asked. "To kick butt on my Keystone exam!" he enthusiastically responded.
DICTION - word choice of the author to be the most clear and/or effective. Example: When writing an essay, it is important to use good diction in order to receive a high grade.
