Abstract
There is a lot of prose written in English by Indonesian authors that are posted on Wattpad. Bree Stonefield is one of those authors. The purposes of this study are to analyze the authorial style of Bree Stonefield in term of figure of speech and to find possible explanation of the style. The present study uses stylistic analysis model from Leech and Short (2007), where the data of figure of speech was collected, the pattern was identified, and the style was interpreted to see the possible explanation. The data of this study are derived from Bree Stonefield’s two short stories entitled White Dress and 11 Reasons Why. From the analysis, it is found that the author frequently used hyperbole, metaphor, personification and simile. The author’s writing style shows a pattern where she used figure of speech mostly on abstract objects and verb and indirect forms. These styles can be explained by the stories’ intrinsic element of plot development and theme and characterization building, the author’s background where she learns English mostly informally from social media and other online platform, the Wattpad’s trend that influences its writers, and first language interference that influences the author’s choice of words as well. This suggested that the author’s style was not only formed from authorial intention but also influenced by the author’s situation.
