As I reflect on what I have learned in this course, and how my definition of style has changed throughout the course I come up with only one answer...
Style, although it has some clear guidlines and structural borders, is very much an opinoin factor. Depending on the reader and the writer, style may need to be changed differently to meet different needs. Another big reason style would need to be changed is to accomodate changing purposes of works.
If one purpose is to inform and another is to persuade there may be different ways to go about getting these purposes across to the reader. But on the same token, the reader may be looking for something different than the writer is providing to accomplish the same purpose. This is a good example of how style is an opinion based idea that varies based on audience, writer, and purpose.
