Everyone has a unique style of doing something, whether it's the way you dance, look, drive, read or write. Style is an essential technique when writing rhetorically because it’s what sets you, the writer, apart from all the other authors. When you write with your own style it gives the reader a different way to interpret a text. If everyone wrote with the same style, reading and writing would be boring. Imagine if all the cars in the world had the same body style, it would be a very plain and boring to take a drive.
Style is what makes this world go around, everything around you has some kind of style in it. Being different or having a unique style keeps everything from being boring.
"Rhetorical Visions" defines style as the way you express your material and argument; therefore, style is about the form of your expression and ideas.
The definition for style from Dictionary.com is the components or features of a literary composition that have to do with the form of expression rather than the content of the thought expressed.

I agree with Kicklor17, if everyone had the same style then reading would be boring. Everyone has thier own style and everyone likes reading a specific style of writing. In this website < www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/style.html > they explain about the meaning of style. They state "When you read your writing it may seem perfectly clear, but other people may not be getting your point." this is becuase you reconize your style of writting were others may not.
Style in writting is also very subjective to criticism. Were some professors might enjoy your style of writting, thus giving you a good grade, others may not and will show that in a poor grade. This cartoon (you can find at www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/jsi0073l.jpg) resembles this exact idea.
With soo many different styles in writting it's hard not to find something that you could enjoy reading. If it wasn't for style all writting would seem dull.
