Style Cake

​We are rounding out our unit on style after looking at three distinct stylistic writings: House on Mango Street, Frankenstein, and a choice text. We've analyzed and broken down the elements of style and added them together to make our "cake" of the ingredients point of view, tone, diction, and purpose.

Remember, when you label style you are looking at DICTION + SENTENCES. To write style write a description of the narrator (male/female, young/old, wealthy/poor, position in society (job)) + the type of writing (based on purpose). So, the style of House on Mango Street is a smart, young girl's expressive writing. Harry Potter is an objective, limited narrator's entertaining writing. The Wall Street Journal is an objective professional's informative writing. All these are the summation of the elements found in the style chart on the Style PowerPoint.

The Style Mini-Test will be on Monday.
