Style Imitation

FRIDAY:  Composing your style imitation

Intercalary Chapter Outline

Once you have found your passage, mark it up!  Take notes on the important stylistic devices at work in that specific passage.

Note where you see:

1. Highly poetic images
2. Descriptions of nature
3. Metaphors, similes, personifications
4. Dialogue as people spoke it
5. Word collages
6. Effective Syntax & Diction =Tone (see handout)

Then, start to write following that passage closely (or not!  Maybe you want to just start writing and go with your sense of Steinbeck.  After all you did just immerse yourself in his novel!).
