14. Style is You • When I think of the word “style” I think of the way a person expresses their personal interests, whether it is through fashion or writing. It is up to the individual to determine what stylistic elements to include or eliminate. Individuals who have a strong like for fashion may decide to add a waist belt to an outfit or bathe themselves in jewelry. Style represents the confidence and comfort an individual has to freely express their personal interests. “Style in writing” represents the way a writer reveals their personality through their words. The writer chooses certain words and language to express themselves without losing sight of the intended audience. For example, if the writer is writing in a personal diary, the use of vulgar language may be acceptable, but is unacceptable for an audience of young children. “Style in writing” is where the writer exudes personality through the use of certain words, language, and structure.
