Faulkner Vs. Hemingway

Faulkner’s style of writing is heavy in detail. He tells you how it is in words. If the dress is red, he say’s it’s the color of scarlet with white lace. If  it’s a beautiful sunset, he say’s they sky was pink, purple, and red.

Hemingway’s style of writing is simple and straight to the point. He likes you to paint the picture in your own mind. If the dress is red, he say’s it’s red. If it’s a beautiful sunset, he say’s it’s a beautiful sunset

I like writing like faulkner with detail, not with big words though. I enjoy reading more like Hemingway Because too much like Faulkner and I want to fall asleep. I feel that short sentences with simple words can be more powerful then ones without. It makes things clear and to the point in return making them very dramatic.
