To be honest, when I hear the word style, I automatically think of the way someone dresses. Words like punky, preppy, or skater come to mind. Since this is an English class, I'm pretty sure that the word style is being used in a different way. When being taken into this context, the word style has to do with describing the way a person writes.
There are many different types of writing styles: historical, journal writing, narrative, etc. I don't think one is better than the other, but there are certain times when each is appropriate. Style can also describe the flow of a person's work. Some people tend to write in short, choppy sentences while others like to carry on and on in the smallest number of sentences possible. Some people change writing styles just as often as they may change the style of the clothes they wear, but others, like some of the really great authors, have a distinct style that they hold onto forever.
