Question 20

style

Answer 20

Style includes most of the aspects with which we have already dealt, such as diction; tone; register;
as well as sentence and paragraph structure, e.g., the types of sentences and organisation of paragraphs; rhetorical devices, such as repetition or comparison/contrast; punctuation; and type of language, for example factual or descriptive/figurative language.
→ Depending on the context, short, simple sentences usually ‘pack a punch’, are direct, and can create a sense of tension. Many short sentences all at once can be quite overwhelming. Look at the context.
→ Again, depending on the context, long sentences can be quite descriptive and soothing. They could, however, also induce suspense. They might even be used to set out logical explanations. Look at the context.
→ Compound sentences can offer balanced comparisons while complex sentences can offer logically set-out explanations. Look at the context.
→ An uncharacteristically short paragraph in a text with long paragraphs or paragraphs of unremarkable length, always signifies something, and a question on such a paragraph will almost certainly be asked. This is usually done for emphasis – to show a shift in tone; to highlight a rhetorical question; to draw the reader’s attention to this particular aspect of the text…
