Requirements: 1-2 pages, double-spaced, 12pt. font, Times New Roman
Prompt:
Crafting Sentences
After reading Robert Penn Warren's "Blackberry Winter" (p. 783-798) and marking those sentences with vivid and/or stark images, musical cadences or some other linguistic feat that help shape a consistent writing style, go back and pick out those sentences that represent the author's writing style.
In other words, it is time to analyze the craft of a sentence-level. In your response discuss Penn Warren's use of language, what patterns one can find in his sentences, and how does that language shape the story?
With this prompt, try your best to really deconstruct and explain those 1-3 sentences of Penn Warren's that you will use to argue the story's writing style. Don't simply identify, for instance, what images come up in the story, but discuss why this image; what does image uncover in story's meaning; how is image used?
