Introduction to Synonyms and Antonyms
In literature, precise word choice enhances clarity and impact. Synonyms are words with similar meanings, while antonyms have opposite meanings. Selecting the right synonym or antonym requires understanding subtle differences to convey the intended message effectively. For example, 'happy' and 'joyful' are synonyms, but each may carry a slightly different connotation depending on context. Conversely, 'happy' and 'sad' are antonyms, illustrating contrasting emotions that help create vivid imagery and tone in writing.
