Style sets the mood for the story. It leads readers into how to read the story, enabling them to connect.

“Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it
moves forward.”-Robert Frost

John Hinckley = Situational Irony
• All 3 shots Hinckley fired in an attempt to kill Ronald Regan missed the President. A bullet that ricocheted off of the President’s bulletproof limousine hit Regan in the chest. Irony = the vehicle made to protect the President incidentally wounded him critically.
