Ladyland by Roald Dahl – Style

1) Style for Children . He is very creative, using unique adjectives in his descriptive writing. Dahl uses
figures of speech in his writing . For example, he uses specific names and figures of speech which
compliments the different character in his or her personality and features. Such as Augustus Gloop to
name a fat and greedy boy in the story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. These exaggerate the
characters traits as such making them seem either more evil or a better hero.

2) Style of makes the characters come alive on every page. He can create characters that are enjoyable
and humorous. For example, Roald Dahl's has a creative and humorous style when it comes to writing
children's books such as James and the giant peach or The Twits. With lots of sound words, interesting
adjectives and humorous poems, it makes his books an interesting and enjoyable experience for young
readers.

3) Humorous style. He uses certain characters to teach a lesson about how the other children are not
being respectful and obedient. He puts a twist on his words and arranges the sentence structure to a
point of wackiness at times. For example, He also loves to twist words and play around with the
sentence structure such as using "Vitches" in dialogs instead of witches to portray the high pitch,
screeching voice of the witches. His humorous poems, which sound sadistic at times, are mostly found in
children’s books. This adds a touch of wackiness to the stories. Such can be found in Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory when he uses them to make fun of the characters when they meet with different
accidents.
