Why we do not have to follow grammar rules in writing short story

Book is our best friend. I’m sure everyone will agree with that. But have you ever noticed that most of the story will have at least ten grammar mistakes. I will say that we do not have to follow grammar rules in writing short story. Each person has their own style in writing book. There are three grammar rules that the author usually break. Sometimes, the author will use slang words or conversation to make us feel the feeling of characters. In conclusion following the rules is not always required in writing short and long story.

To write a short story, each person will have their own way to produce or make their sentences. Even though it may not be their real natural innate style, but people will remember that it is their style. For example, in the story 'No Speak English', Sandra Cisneros, the author, used the sentence “Home. Home. Home is house in a photograph” to give us more pressure and to feel that it is home while we are reading it. This sentence also provides a grammar mistake, but it is Sandra’s way to make a sentence more attraction. As long as the sentence is giving us a positive feeling, it is alright to not follow the grammar rules.

The author usually breaks three grammar rules: ending the sentence with preposition, beginning sentence with ‘and’ or ‘but’, and splitting infinitives. Stated by CopyBlogger, these three rules are made to be broken. Most people try to switch the sentence not to end with preposition. Sometimes, it even makes a sentence terrible to read. In the interest of readability, it is all right to end a sentence with a preposition. In the same case, to start a sentence with ‘and’ or ‘but’, it is now acceptable to start the sentence with conjunction. You are not allowed another word to come between ‘to’ and its verb. This is the last rule to be broken. For example “To go boldly” it is better to write as “To boldly go”, so sometimes it is all right to split the infinitive. Therefore, on the whole, it is find to not follow the grammar rules in writing story.

We do not have to follow grammar rules because sometimes it also requires the author to use slang words. It will be easy for us to understand more about the character’s feeling. For example, if the character is teenager. The author may use the sentence like ‘I’m baaack’ to show that she or he is speak in a drawl. So that we will understand more feeling about how the character is doing. That is why we do not have to use correct grammar in writing story.

In conclusion, following the grammar rules in writing book sometimes seem annoying for us. We don’t have to follow the rules every time we write a book. People may have one’s style to make their best sentences. There are also some silly grammar rules that we can break. It is also giving us more poetic flavor while reading a book. Therefore, on the whole, it is not always required for the authors to follow the grammar rules.
