Style

Hello fellow bloggers! Today I am going to post and talk about the three levels of writing styles.  The three styles are: high, middle, and low. The styles are immensely different and can change your image to an audience greatly.  The highest level of writing is a very educational way of writing and for very educated or educating papers. High style of writing is usually for science papers or some time of scientific writing. This style of writing is used when a lot is at stake. High style of writing has several concepts that make it high style, including: the use of proper and very sophisticated grammar, the use of professional vocabulary and punctuation,  the use of 3rd person, and the use and siting of many quality sources.

Lower on the totem pole of style of writing is middle style. Middle style is used for everything in between the two extreme styles (high and low) and is used for average high school papers, business memos, personal statements and most books. Some characteristics of middle style of writing are: serious and humor writing, human voice rather than an institution's voice, general vocabulary, informal expressions, and defines difficult meaning words.

The lowest style of writing is obviously low style of writing. Low style of writing is very common in our everyday life. We use this for blogs (similar to this one, but obviously not as good), emails, instant messaging, and even texting.  Low writing style often possesses qualities such as everyday subjects, pop-culture vocabulary, unconventional grammar, and does not always use complete sentences.
If you are having a hard time deciding which level of writing to write at, here are some things to consider:

-What is your subject?
-Who is your audience?
-Is it being graded by a professor?
-And is your topic serious or humorous?

Well I hope this helps any writers out there that were happening to wonder about the three styles of writing when you stumbled across this blog! And just remember, the three different styles of writing are for three different types of subjects and three different types of authors.

Godspeed world.
