Style of writing

The style of writing in this excerpt from Glennon Doyle's memoir Untamed can be described as informal. Doyle employs a conversational tone, using simple and accessible language to express her thoughts and experiences to the reader in a personal manner. She shares personal anecdotes and observations to explain her journey of self-discovery and breaking free from the expectations society placed on her.

The writing is characterized by vivid imagery and sensory details. For example, Doyle describes the cheetah run at the zoo, painting a clear picture of the zookeeper, the animals, and the crowd's reactions: “She released Minnie’s leash, and we all watched a yellow Lab joyfully chase a dirty pink bunny. The kids applauded earnestly. The adults wiped sweat from their foreheads.” (ll. 23-26)....
