Job 3
The writing styles of Washington Irving and Ambrose Pierce differ greatly. Washington Irving seems to try and paint a barebones picture that the reader fills in with their imagination, while Ambrose Pierce describes everything to great detail. The writing of Washington Irving is a lot more whimsical and stylized while Ambrose Pierce's writing is straight to the point and blunt. These two writers both contributed to literature in great ways, but their ways of writing were, in truth, quite different.

True, there is a time and a place for everything. I think thats what it really comes down to. They were different people who were gifted in writing in different styles and they had different audiences.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I find it interesting, when studying literature in co-op, because of the different styles of writing that are popular at different times in history. It seems that today, in our culture, there is so much variety and not really a certain genre that is "In". If anyone has thoughts on this I'd love to hear it!
