In literature, the word “slant” is a versatile term that can describe both physical inclinations and more abstract shifts in perspective. It often conveys a sense of angularity or tilt in physical structures and natural landscapes—for instance, a hidden recess on a wall that offers concealment ([1]), or a town rising on a steep slope ([2]). Authors also employ “slant” to evoke the quality of light, creating moods with beams that fall at an oblique angle over a scene ([3]). Beyond the literal, the term is used metaphorically to suggest bias or a distinctive viewpoint in writing, as when one’s personal perspective is brought to bear on a discussion ([4], [5]). This multiplicity of meanings allows “slant” to enrich descriptions and evoke varied sensory and intellectual impressions throughout narrative and expository texts.
