So in Earth Linn's essay that I love talking about from Elfin to pipsy she talks about pros and it's important to keep in mind I think a lot of people think when they confuse pros and style they think of Pros as being frippery as being a frill sort of thing that it's not important really but actually the language as Ur lewinn points out in that essay the pros is the story you cannot have the story without the pros and therefore it is a really important element to talk about when you're analyzing story.
