Analyzing Style of Writing

One would have to consider an intended audience when analyzing writings such as Genesis and Darwin. That being said, while Genesis is intended for everyone with a religious belief, Darwin's work is meant for a select number of scientific enthusiasts. Thus, keeping in mind the audience, it is evident that Genesis effectively attempts to convey a story with a meaning. "And G-d said." This repetition adds flow to the writing, which makes it seem as though it is a story, appealing to a wide range of audiences. However, Darwin's syntax is more decisive and simply concludes a thesis with evidence. He does this because he is writing this for scientific nobles who positively respond to this style of writing.
