Answer:

Specificity. Use words that are both correct in meaning and specific in description

Audience. Good word choice takes the reader into consideration.

Symbolism: some objects/flowers/colors may fit by textbook definition but may have a alternate meaning such as roses being connected to love or depending on the region the animal in the story may be a symbol of bad like like a black cat or pride like a lion
