Flaubert's writing style

Style is essential to have in mind when you are writing. “Writing style is the manner in which a writer addresses a matter. A style reveals the writer's personality or voice.” In class we have recently been focusing on style and personally I am really enjoying it. Your writing style is like your personality, it portrays who you are.

In tonight’s reading, which consisted in reading A Simple Soul by
 Gustave Flaubert, I found his style to be extremely descriptive: “She was
immediately dazzled by the noise, the lights in the trees, the
brightness of the dresses, the laces and gold crosses, and the crowd
of people all hopping at the same time.” (A simple Soul chapter 2). Here he was not only descriptive in the surroundings but he did also mention details. He described all things that were around.

Another example of Flaubert’’s description is: “The sleepy waves lapping the sand unfurled themselves along the
shore that extended as far as the eye could see, but where land began,
it was limited by the downs which separated it from the "Swamp," a
large meadow shaped like a hippodrome” (A simple Soul chapter 2). Here we can see that the was Gustave Flaubert uses description is by: listing and separation by commas. He lists in the sense that he is naming and illustrates each piece and detail of things, in this case of the beach. And he separates these listings by commas.

Throughout the text the way that Flaubert describes is not just a paralyzed scene, he describes as actions keep occurring, and does not stop the story.
