William Strunk Jr., an English professor at Cornell University in 1919 required his students to have the textbook The Elements of Style, written by William Strunk Jr. himself. It was referred to as the “little” book and was a forty-three-page summary of the case for cleanliness, accuracy and brevity in the use of English (Strunk & White, 2000). These rules are in the form of sharp commands, shining light on Sergeant Strunk’s personality and approach to teaching. E.B. White, a former student of Strunk

Style Elements and “Harrison Bergeron” It is quite difficult to detail a dystopian future without thinking about the variables. What time period shall it be? What new laws will be enacted to cause the dystopia? How will the characters be portrayed, and what shall be their challenges? These variables would be enough to repel authors from this topic, but one author managed to perfectly describe a dystopian future with his short piece, “Harrison Bergeron.” This short story, written by Kurt Vonnegut

(p.xxxvii, line 6) From there, it shows that film noir sometimes lead audience could

recognition or dismissal of film noir as a genre has been argued since the term was coined. While the term itself is valid, film noir as a genre is a misnomer. More properly, film noir should be considered a style unto itself, but definitively not genre, defined by the very definitions of the words “style” and “genre”.
