In the videos from TedEd about style, the speakers explore creative writing and style found in famous authors' writings and in mythology.
One of the videos I found most interesting is the videos about what makes something "Kafkaeqsque." I have heard of Kafka, and think I have even read some of his work, but did not know about his unique style. Kafka focuses on the convoluted absurdity of modern bureaucracy. He calls attention to the unnecessary complexness of administration, but also calls attention to how this can potentially be changed in the future. His style became so unique and recognizable that it was named after him.
I also really enjoyed the video "How to Write Descriptively." This video talks about how to make each word count and how to add layers to make writing more description. Through this video, I learned to focus on each of the different senses I want to invoke in my writing. I should choose certain words depending on if I want to focus on sight, sounds, taste, touch, or smell, or a combination of these. This will help readers connect with my writing and feel like they are in the story.
