Independent Reading: Writing Style (Promt #11, Chapter two.)


Chapter 2: Page 31
"When the doorbell rings, he is oblivious. But it brings me to a rude awakinging. I drag myself over to the intercom.
'Yes?'
It's the marshal come to repossess the apartment.
I have been expecting him since the seventy-two-hour notice four days ago.
I say and do nothing."

The author writes this book in a style unlike many others. He chooses to write how people think. He uses the spaces on the page to his advantage. He breaks up lines, into thoughts. Since his thoughts have inspired his writing, and his writing inspired his breakthrough, he writes in a way that best shows his point. I enjoy the way Lee Stinger (the author and main character) has written this book so far. It is an effective style that is creative and different from the normal writing style readers are constantly exposed to. The writing style clearly sets a tone of thought. It helps develop a connection between the reader and the main character. The reader is exposed to the changing thoughts and tones with the way the words appear on the page. It is a nice change in writing style, that i have not read in a while.
