Journal Entry 78: Style

How would you describe Toni Cade Bambara’s style in “Raymond’s Run”? How would you compare it to the style of Walter Dean Myers in “The Treasure of Lemon Brown”? Discuss at least two elements of style in your analysis (You may have to refer to your textbook, pp. 530-532, or your Holt Reader p. 171).Write a paragraph—at least 200 words—that explains your answer. Support your ideas with details from the story. Be specific.

I think Toni Cade Bambara's style in "Raymond's Run" sounds kind of like a little girl talking, but that is exactly what she wanted to portray in her story because the narrator is a little girl. The style Walter Dean Myers in "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" is more grown up and serious. His style is more like that because the story is is talking about a more serious topic, and I actually think it's pretty sad.
