STYLE, TONE, AND MOOD
1. STYLE Style is the use of literary devices, tone, and mood in a particular way that makes author’s writing recognizable. In another word, the style of writing is the style of author who writes it. The author’s style can be recognized by the following components: • Personal word choice or vocabulary • Types of sentences • Point of view from which the text is told • Organization of the text To analyze an author style, we need to consider the point of view, formal or informal writing, structure of text, level of complexity in the writing, and overall tone. By using these features in writing, different meaning of the content are shown to the audience.
Categories of Style
Formal Style The following are some characters of formal style: • Vocabulary: high-level; business-like • Organization of text: very structured; perhaps with subtopics • Audience – usually 3rd-omnisicient point of view • Sentences: structure varies (simple sentence/compound sentence/complex sentence)
Informal Style The following are some characters of informal style: • Vocabulary: low-level; perhaps slang; dialogue style • Organization of text: more so narrative or note-like • Audience: usually personal (more first or third-limited point of view) • Sentences: mostly simple or compound sentences
Organization of Text Writing is organized in various ways, depending upon the author’s purpose: to inform, to entertain, to express a belief or opinion, and to persuade. Text usually falls within one of these types of organizational patterns: • Cause - Effect • Problem - Solution • Chronological (sequencing the order of events) • Compare/Contrast
