style

=__**Style**__=

1. It can be used as a classification of authors to a group and a comparison of an author to similar authors.
===2. Also, it can be the total outcome of the choices an author makes in blending diction, syntax, figurative language, and other literary devices. It is the way an author personalizes his or her work making it recognizable to people acustom to their literary peices. Styles can be considered flowery, explicit, succinct, rambling, bombastic, commonplace, incisive, or laconic, to name only a few.===

=__//Examples://__= ===//”I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...” - Jonathan Swift//===

-In his, "A Modest Proposal" swift uses irony to illustrate his style.
===//"TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story" -Edgar Allen Poe//===

-In his short story, "The Tell Tale Heart" Poe uses both diction and tone in order to show the intensity of the story.
===//" His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more then the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred." -Ernest Hemingway// -Hemingway uses both metaphor and simile in order to convey his light, flowery style. ===
