Hello everyone!
Today’s comic is Hi & Lois featuring the topic of synonyms.
Comic Breakdown
“It sure is breezy and blustery today, isn’t it, Trixie?”
– Lois speaking to Trixie
“Yeah and it’s windy too!” – Trixie’s thoughts about Lois’
comments on the weather
What is going on?
Three different words with the same basic meaning have
been used in this comic. They are
breezy, blustery, and windy.
The words breezy and blustery are synonyms of the word (verb) windy. Though breezy and blustery have the same
basic meaning as the word windy they are not identical in meaning but similar
in meaning.
Breezy: a
light and easy wind
Blustery: a
very strong wind
Windy: exposure
to wind (any type of wind)
Synonyms are words that are similar or the same in
meaning. In some situations synonyms may
have an identical meaning to another word and in other situations they only share
a similar definition. It all depends on
the context. When looking up synonyms,
you use a thesaurus rather than a dictionary.
Example of Synonyms
It is good to use synonyms because it makes you less
repetitive and therefore creates more interesting conversations and better writing.
In conclusion…
The day was summarized by Trixie as being windy.
