Distinctive Work Done by Dahl
Roald Dahl has a very distinctive way of writing that many children enjoy. Dahl sees the world as a child and creates stories that are very silly and fun for children to read. Dahl has a very humorous style that uses unique adjectives in his descriptive writing. The names that Dahl gives to his characters complement the personality and features of that character. For example, Augustus Gloop is a very
silly name, but with Dahl’s style of writing, most kids understand that he is a
greedy fat boy, who will be the first to leave the chocolate factory after disobeying Wonka’s rules. Dahl’s characters come alive off the page for most children.
He is able to create characters that children find enjoyable and humorous. Dahl engages children with excellent word play throughout his books from the second they open the book until the last sentence on the page. He uses lots of sound words, interesting adjectives, and funny poems that allow children to enjoy each page of the book. He enriches a whole new vocabulary of invented words whose meanings come from their sounds. Dahl writes like this on purpose so that children read the text for what it is. This allows readers to engage in all aspects of the story. Dahl's works also have a lot of rhyme, rhythm and humor. By placing poetry in his works, he allows more children to seek it and understand it. It also allows children to develop their listening and oral skills. Dahl also tries to teach children lessons throughout his books by showing children who are disrespectful or disobedient and what happens to them as well as children who are good and what can come from good behavior. Dahl uses personification to create human-like animals. These animals have a mind of their own and can speak just like a human. Dahl’s distinctive writing style is so very contagious and many children like his out of the box thinking. His books will be enjoyed for many years to come.
