In “Gumption,” the descriptive structure allows for full development of Clara’s voice, and helps to establish her viewpoint on the importance of “gumption.” The dialect and slang used by the characters create a realistic context for the story. In “To Build a Fire,” the style is revealed through the sequential structure of the story. As the events unfold, the distant, matter-of-fact style of the narrator creates feelings of tension, or suspense, in the reader.
