Examine the diction in this excerpt from a monthly newsletter. The farmers were fit to be tied after the drought. They had worked day and night waiting for the black cloud. They had seen the blue norther on the other part of the town—at least some people were gettin' a storm. Nobody had seen rain for a while and even the beasts were getting crusty. It was after months that a drop of rain finally tore from the sky and fell on the ground. What they had wished for was a frogstrangler, but they got sorry-looking rain. At least, it was a start. And, that's how our little town ended up turning into a swamp.
