An image of an 8-runged ladder leaning on a green wall lit by a ray of sunshine. Beside the ladder is a text extracted from a book on writing tips describing how good writers know how to climb up and down ladders — a metaphor appropriate vocabulary selection. At the top are words with abstract meanings. At the bottom are words of simple utility that represent objects and are easily modified by adjectives. Compare “freedom” and “literacy” at the top with “bloody knives” and “baseball cards” at the bottom. The writing tip is to beware of the middle rungs, where words such as “bureaucracy” and technocracy” loiter. Source: Clark, R. P. (2016).
