Point Of Veiw

Point Of View, Diction, Syntax

By Mehryar Zahed

                The writing style of 300 is very unique for a graphic novel. It is so simple but yet it is very informative at the same time. The speech bubbles go anywhere from 3 words to almost a mini paragraph long. In this journal entry it will explain the Point of view, Diction, Syntax.

                In 300 the story is explained through different people’s point of view. The narrator usually describes the scenes but then the characters take over until the next new scene that comes up. The narrator is actually the Capitan Dilios so it is through an omniscient view. There is a more historic diction in the writing style. That is because they reference allot of places in Greece. They also speak about the countries they went through to get to Greece. The syntax would be more long and descriptive. When King Leonidas would speak about killing someone he would describe how he did it. This made the syntax become real descriptive. The diction was also not all so historic they did not speak like Shakespeare times with thy and thou. It was written how a regular graphic novel would be except they made many references to the countries and continents.

                In all the writing style and point of view of this book was done well and easily readable.
