What would you describe your writing style as? I'm doing a research paper for english 3 and my teacher wants actual sources instead of just what I know.
Michael G. Manning
I'm not entirely sure how to answer this myself, since I don't know what categories your teacher is thinking about, so I'll be general.
Most of my writing is 3rd person omniscient, meaning the story is told from the third person and the descriptive elements can include the inner thoughts of any of the characters.
I tend to focus on the interaction and relationships between the characters more than any other element. Some writers spend more time on political systems or societal context, or they may get very detailed in description of other elements, but I tend to focus on the people in the story and let the background introduce itself only as needed by the story.
Hopefully this helps.
