Analysis of Writing Styles Questions

Worth 50 points

1. Are there any quotes that are not done using traditional newspaper attribution? (Remember, this includes using quote marks and attribution for every single quote.) If so, write three or four examples down here and tell me if you think it helps, or hurts, the flow of writing. If the writer diverges in his or her quote style, what was the intended effect?

2. Are there any sentences that don't utilize traditional, grammatical sentences (Remember, they can be simple, compound, complex or compound-complex.) If so, write three or four examples down here and tell me if you think it helps, or hurts, the flow of writing. How would you describe the changes: Fragments and phrases? Run-on sentences? Stream of consciousness? If the writer diverges in his or her sentence structure, what was the intended effect?

3. Are there any sentences that utilize non-standard English, such as expletives and profanity, idioms and vernacular, bad grammar, dialect or slang? If so, write at least three or four examples down here and tell me if you think it helps, or hurts, the flow of writing. If the writer did this, was the intended effect?

4. Are there any sentences that utilize creative and literary devices, such as metaphor, imagery, poetic license (including altered point of view), internal dialogue, irony, alliteration or allusion or other techniques? If so, write three or four examples down here and tell me if you think it helps, or hurts, the flow of writing. What was the intended effect?
