Donald Trump's Writing Style
Through elementary school, Donald impressed classmates with his athleticism, and crazy personality.

He attended a military academy for behavioral purposes in high school and got taller and tougher. Having a broomstick in a fight, he tried to push a cadet out a second-floor window, however was stopped by his friends.

He was Trump in a miniature, who has dominated the presidential election, more than a dozen of his childhood friends, and neighbors said in interviews. Even Trump has noticed the similarities between himself now and when he was the boy whom friends referred to as “Donny,” and “Flat Top” (for his hair). “When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same,” said Trump to a biographer. “The

In school, he misbehaved often that his initials became his friends’ shorthand for detention.

His father Fred Trump’s success as a real estate developer paid for the private schools and large house to which Donald and his siblings got used to. Donald learned that comfort could be gone if his behavior was poor. When 13, his parents sent him to military boarding school, where instructors struck him if he misbehaved.

“He was essentially banished from the family home,” said his biographer, Michael D’Antonio. “He hadn’t known anything but living with his family in a luxurious setting, and all of a sudden he’s sent away. That’s a rough way to start out in life.” Trump, in an interview with The Washington Post, described his years at the academy “would be good for me because I was ­rambunctious.”

“I was a wise guy, and they wanted to get me in line,” he said. “Thinking back, it was a very positive influence.”

The Queens neighborhood where young Donald grew up, Midland Parkway was credited to the wealth of its builder, Fred Trump.“No one had individualized license plates in those days,” said Ann Rudovsky, who grew up nearby. “Everyone talked about the Trumps because of the house and the

    Throughout her multitude of works, author Flannery O’Connor employs the primary use a descriptive style of writing, with her works illustrating religion. Religion makes an appearance throughout her works, but for all the wrong reasons. Without context, religion is often seen as a positive, but under the hands of O’Connor, religion is depicted as being manipulated and used for crime. This can be visualized within her three works, “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” “The Life You Save May Be Your Own,” and “Good Country People,” as within those short stories, religion is introduced and used in a twisted manner. Although religion is a central component to her descriptive writing style, O’Connor also frequently utilizes as elements of that style, foreshadowing,…

    Kurt Vonnegut. I’ve never heard of him, at least ‘til this point in my life. I don’t know how, because he seems like the kind of author we’d of learned about or even have read some of his pieces by now. I like his style. He’s one of those writers that talks to the reader as opposed to talking above them. He uses those simple words that Stephen King was talking about in Toolbox, a cut and dry vocabulary. No fluff like that Ralph Waldo Emerson. Based off of How to Write With Style alone, it’s easy to tell that Vonnegut writes with a certain swagger. He mentions the key to writing with that style is injecting your writing with a little bit of what makes you you. Your pauses between sentences, your vocabulary… just your overall mannerisms. They bring life to the otherwise lifeless words on this or any other…
