Writing Style

Tone, Diction, Imagery, Detail, Syntax

His tone in his diary is somewhat distant, meaning that he puts himself as an observer yet experiencing. This is different from the Great Gatsby, that he is watching, observing, and expressing from the brain filter of himself rather than just a simple third person point of view.

His dictions make me feel very confusing yet mesmerizing. His expresses his complex ideas, for example he believes that the nature has its characteristics and personality, respects and mentions every aspects of his surroundings, such as wind, sea, a stranger, etc.

Imagery is also strong during his visit to the beach how sea wind changes and how it unwelcome him.

I could say that his diary is very detailed in a way that he explains his feelings yet it fails to give a tantamount of information about the place that he visits. Less factual contents and more emotional and into small details. (well, it’s diary not a travel guide---- isn’t it?)

Syntax
Grammars; not sure of. It does fit all the grammars, yet it feels like it’s kind of disordered. Maybe because of his descriptive-complex writing style.
