Style- Style is the manner of putting thoughts into words; a characteristic way of writing and speaking. It not only reveals the author's personality and voice, but it shows how they percieve the audience. Style is basically the image in the author's mind.
For example the book "The Catcher in the Rye" is written through the eyes of Holden Caufield... a sixteen year old boy. The writing style was basically Holden's personality.. which was pretty negative and depressing most of the time.
I have always had a vague sense of what style means but now I understand more about it. Thank you
ReplyDeleteNicole thank you for posting this! I now have a new understanding of what style really is, I agree with Lizzie.

Great post Nicole. Your example with "The Catcher in The Rye" really brings out the meaning of style. It also goes along with what we are learning in class about how your on-line and off line styles may be totally different and that it's important to keep a good style all around.

This is a great presentation of the term style. I understand it a lot better now because of the video and your example. Thanks!
