 Ransom Riggs uses formal writing in his book called Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Ransom has only written this book so I cannot compare it to other books he has written but it shows a lot of his style of writing. He has a very large vocabulary and uses very descriptive language. He has a high level of word choice for more adults and young adults. But it still captures the teenaged audience this is what caught my eye. In this book he uses first person point of view being Jacobs’s point of view. The novel was organized in a problem and solution pattern. In the beginning of the story the problem was that Jacobs grandfather died and told him to go to the island he grew up and find the answers. The solution is hopefully he stops the monsters from harming his family and friends and finds the answers he is looking for. I think the author uses first person point of view because it is easier to relate to. Also how he uses problem and solution in this book because I find I is more enjoyable to find out what happens to the character in the end or if the problem is solved.
