Step 3: Style Analysis

Write your style analysis of the passage using the excerpt you chose from your text. Remember, all quotations should demonstrate an element of style that you’re analyzing and must be explained. Organize your writing in a logical manner. While there isn’t a word count requirement for your style analysis, your writing should fully analyze the excerpt you chose to receive full credit.
