This answer best shows that medals and awards don't always bring soldiers glory and acceptance.

Answer:
Writing style is the way the author puts the story together, and the vocabulary he/she uses.
Explanation:
Some authors will purposely write grammatically incorrectly, as it is their writing style. Some authors may repeat themselves. Some authors may organize the story to be slow at the beginning, but then have an immediate climax.
All writing styles are different, as they are the preference of the author themselves, and how <em>they</em> want the story to be perceived.
I hope this helps!
