A Jury of Her Peers

Part 1 (pages 70-73): What kind of register does the author use in the story? How is the story written? Often, a writer will use dialog that suggests, rather than states directly, how a character feels. This kind of suggestion is called implication, or implied meaning. The following sentences from Part II are examples of implied meaning. The questions that follow ask you to tell what the words of each speaker imply. Paragraph numbers are given to help you find the dialog in the story.
