GCSEPod® English - John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men: Style

**This is a short sample from GCSEPod® English - Of Mice And Men: Style. The full title is 12 minutes long and includes 2 Chapters, covering Tone, Language and Structure **

The style of a novel is the manner in which the author chooses to write the novel. The style could, for example, be ironic, where the author's tone pokes fun at the characters' behaviour. Steinbeck's style is simple; it relies on dialogue, which means direct speech, and lyrical poetic description. The style is not difficult, it is very accessible. This is one of the reasons the novel has retained its popularity. This title will look at the various ways Steinbeck uses the style of the novel to communicate his ideas and enhance the reader's involvement with the story. Chapter one will focus on the tone and language Steinbeck employs for each character and for the narrative text. Chapter two will look at the structure of the novel, what it indicates and what it achieves.
