Read these excerpts. The first is from Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, and the second is from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. 1. “Living in a house and sleeping in a bed pulled on me pretty tight mostly, but before the cold weather I used to slide out and sleep in the woods sometimes, and so that was a rest to me. I liked the old ways best, but I was getting so I liked the new ones, too, a little bit.” 2. “I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-[centered] interests . . . were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books . . .” How does each author’s language style affect meaning?
