Different Writing Style


All writer's have their own writing style in which what makes them unique and what they write about. S.E. Hinton's ways of writing her stories was more popular towards young adults. Most of her stories were about young teens troubled by there appearance and how poor or rich you are.

In her book "Rumble Fish", the book explores gang violence and the coming of age. The story focuses on a troubled young teen who is know as the local tough guy but he gradually loses everything that has ever held meaning for him. Also in her "Tex", is a story based on two young brothers who are left alone in each others care. This book is on how the two young brothers deal with drugs, violence, social upheaval, and family problems. Most of her books, like the ones I just mentioned are in first person narrative.

Hinton kept to a very similar style of writing and what she wrote about. Some critics many critics have noticed a melodrama for all of her books but its seems to fit her and with her fan base I don't think she will be changing anytime soon.
