Style

The different use of style in the short stories "Summer" and "Lust" portray the different ways the author treats youthful sexuality. In "Summer"  the story is told through vivid detail and in a traditional story like manner. For a brief time we see the world through the main character's eyes and into how he views the world. In "Lust" the author took a more unique approach giving small excerpts of dozens of girls sexual experiences. Amidst the cluster of stories there is at least that I am sure every reader can relate to, and because it is told by a lot of different women it is presented to the reader at their level. It is relate-able. I preferred "Summer" mainly because I have a weakness for a good old traditional story telling and I also enjoy getting to know and love/hate a  character created by the author. In "Summer" it is literally like you stepped into the boy's world and he feels real. The different approaches towards sexuality allowed the authors to convey they views.
