IBavictim Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 My teacher told us about slants but I'm still confused. (This is actually the first time I learned that definition of the word in literature) She said to use it in the set of thesis statements we have to write that are due in a few days. Can someone explain it to me thoroughly please? ^__^Thanks!! ^__^ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain it to me thoroughly please? ^__^Thanks!! ^__^ Did you mean italics? In A1 we usually slant book titles (if typed) and underline it (if written). For example:The novel Madame Bovary was written by Gustave Flaubert.I had read A Doll's House and found it interesting.If you were not talking about italics, then I apologise I can't help.

wombat123 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Well, at first I thought she might have meant "bias", but that definition doesn't really seem to fit in with the context she suggested using it in. After googling it, the only thing I could find was "slant rhyme":http://www.uncp.edu/home/canada/work/allam/general/glossary.htm Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proletariat Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Maybe slant = angle? As in, angle of approach? Presenting a specific argument and/or point of view as treatment for a topic? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
