Question

A letter often breaks down the barrier between the reader and writer, and allows the author to set a personal tone. Which sentence from Lake's letter best demonstrates this effect?

Answer 1

The correct answer is I would like to introduce you to my son, Wind-Wolf.

Answer 2

A WRITER’S STYLE IS WHAT SETS HIS OR HER WRITING APART and makes it unique. Style is the way writing is dressed up (or down) to fit the specific context, purpose, or audience. Word choice, sentence fluency, and the writer’s voice — all contribute to the style of a piece of writing. How a writer chooses words and structures sentences to achieve a certain effect is also an element of style. When Thomas Paine wrote “These are the times that try men’s souls,” he arranged his words to convey a sense of urgency and desperation. Had he written “These are bad times,” it’s likely he wouldn’t have made such an impact!
