Capote, Truman. Breakfast
at Tiffany's and three stories. 2nd Vintage International ed. New York:
Vintage Books, 2012. Print.
Commentary:Through Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Capote states that some light can hurt the appearance of a girl's face. This sentence can be seen as one with concrete or abstract diction. It's diction can be perceived as concrete or having a very literal meaning in the that some types of light, such as sunlight, the skin can sunburned and can lead to cancer. As with abstract diction, the "shades of limelight:" could mean not light, but a figurative spotlight, unwanted attention that could affect a girl and damage her reputation. Also with strong verbs like "wreck" Capote emphasizes that horrible things could come from a certain shade of light, or specific amount of attention.
