I just finished reading Forever in Blue..by Ann Brashares. I'm now working on my book report project for it. My teacher is very specific in what she wants in the report. For the next paragraph I'm supposed to describe the authors style. I really dont understand this...but I dont want to wait till monday to ask. How do you explain an authors style...are there specific types of styles? Is this like whether she's simple, hard, descriptive, etc.

Writing style reveals the personality, thoughts, and voice of a writer in his or her prose. Effective writing style depends upon a combination of the following: audience, type of writing, punctuation, word choice, sentence construction, and overall presentation.

Style: How is the story written? How are the ideas it contains expressed? Style involves the author’s choice of words, the sentence patterns, the imagery used, the rhythm of the sentences. They should avoid flagrant repetitiveness, stiff dialogue, gross exaggeration, didacticism, or use of language that is poorly chosen for the genre of the book or for the characters in it.
