One style, in the story, is it is told from two perspectives. It is told in the perspective of the author reflecting back on when her father read her the story.

For example, when Rostand is talking about an “avenue” (201), he uses multiple commas and phrases such as “overarched by chestnut trees, leading to the door of a chapel on the right, just visible among the branches of the tress” (201). The author writes so deeply and continuously with long sentences because he wants to get the structure and makeup of the scene exact; he wants the audience to feel like they are there in the scene with the characters. To make a point or change moods, Rostand writes short choppy sentences, but to show in -depth detail, Rostand uses long sentences and
When writing a novel authors must think not only about what they are about to write, but why they are going to write it. They have to select diction that will convey their inner thoughts and emotions. There is a need of imagery to pull the reader into the story so they will not lose their drive to read. Tone must constantly shift in order to keep the reader so engaged that they are determined to read until it all makes sense. From the longest to the shortest sentence, there is a reason -- called syntax-- why that sentence is there.
What the characters say allows you to understand their characteristics so readers can feel compassion or sympathy towards these fictional characters. Also, with the round characters Ray Bradbury developed their dialogue is unexpected. For example, when the main character
“As I listened, I looked up into what should have been the dark autumnal evening sky, but instead the haze of flashing police lights, streetlamps, giant spotlights, the headlights of cars, the kaleidoscopic reflection off the cold concrete and the glass of Police Plaza 1, all obscured the sky.” (295). This kind of language builds comprehension and visualization of the scene. Kiely and Reynold’s also use lots of dialogue to develop the main ideas. It also helps to understand characters better.
These two ways bring many advantages and disadvantages. One advantage of having the text it bring more details and emotion. It can also show more of their inner thoughts. But there are some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that it can be difficult to picture how the story's setting is taking place.

The authors use many things to help the reader understand what they're reading. One of the many is word choice; its very important to help the reader understand the reading. Also, word choice helps author create imagery for the reader. Imagery can help the reader get a good sense of what they're reading. Syntax can help the reader; the author can use syntax in numerous ways to convey different meanings and provoke certain responses.
As a result, I pay more attention to how to affect readers’ feelings and reading experience. For example, I used syntaxes to influence the pace, so I am able to emphasize some of my ideas. I used imperative and tried to
In this short passage by William Zinsser, Zinsser used compare and contrast to inform the readers about his personal opinions of being a writer. Due to different understandings and opinions on how to be a good writer, Zinsser decided to use compare and contrast in order to present a clean and detailed differences to the reader about how different people’s writing style can vary. By doing this, it would be extremely helpful for the readers to distinguish the differences of each writing style, see the benefits and disadvantages, and ultimately gather enough information to decide which style fits them the best. At the panel with Dr. Brock, Zinsser gave the audience a broader view of different writing styles and how they contribute differently.
Adding descriptive words to each sentence can make the writing less of a bore to read. In the book Echo by Pam Muñoz Ryan, one way figurative language makes a sentence more interesting is, “…filled the room with a rising march” (Ryan p.g. 356) The author could have just said, the music filled the room but by adding descriptive words it can make reading that sentence more interesting than just the base sentence.
“Bienvenidos a El Salvador,” the flight attendant announced over the intercom. I looked towards the windows and enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. I could see the long fields, the beautiful hills and valleys, and the volcanoes. The palm trees were bright green and the sky was filled with color. The land seemed to be filled with life.

The style of which the story is being written is both descriptive and quite colorful, for example, “Um-hmm!... Ain’t you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?”(Hughes pg.1) Hughes also introduces some specific languages and styles of literary devices such as repetition, hyperboles, and interjection. He also uses an exaggeration when trying to make a point, for example, “She said, ‘You a lie!’” ( Hughes pg.1 ).
