Comparing writing styles. Kafka, Conrad, Camus

The writing styles of Camus, Kafka, and Conrad all differ in their own ways. Conrad's writing style takes a more discriptive view by having lots of adjectives and imagery. Kafka writing is more free flowing and not as hard to understand. The constant use of commas and semicolons complements the free flowing style that he writes in. Camus in my opinion is the most different for the other writers in that his writing is more simple and straight  forward. He repeats how "I" did this and that and "Then" she did this.

Genesis1 vs. Open

In comparing the writing styles of King James's Genesis 1 and Andre Agassi's Open both have similarities and differences in reaching their audience. Genesis and Open share the aspect of being able to easily be understood because of the non complex writing. Genesis was written in thought of reaching a really broad audience in which the sentence structure is mostly short and straight to the point," And god said,"let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good and he separated the light from the darkness." As well as Open, his writing style was along the same lines of the short/ fragmented sentences because its genre of being an autobiography.

Reading Now vs. Reading Next Year

I am currently satisfied with the current state/amount of reading at Buckley assigned for homework but I like the idea of reading in class and would like to see it applied into a daily routine rather than every so often. I feel this would tremendously help the stamina of readers to better prepare them for the harsh amount of required reading in college.
