Introduction

This approach provides a systematic and logical approach to students by stylistics. The study of style and method is referred to as stylistician that an author or writer uses in his work. It differs from linguistics as stylistics focusses on the way an author fabricates his writings and work. Mainly literature depends on language in which language without literature but literature cannot be without language. Stylistics analysis clearly defines concepts and an explicit vocabulary which are produced within text.

Stylistics is instrumental in generating sensitivity in students by analyzing feature of a text. Stylistics is available to a writer that is concerned with choices and reasons why a particular form and expression is used. It is concerned with the study of language of literature and basically with style and study of language of literary works.

In field of English studies, pedagogical stylistics has grown in past five years. The usefulness of stylistics analysis in third world context, where teaching of English is divided with several issues such as lack of a well-developed language policy document, lack of acceptable funding for education by the government, lack of trained and proficient teachers of English, lack of clarity regarding the teaching of English, lack of teaching materials that are relevant. In empirical research, pedagogy of stylistics and pedagogical stylistics contribute to radical change in way language education itself is approached.

Stylistics analysis has two major goals: first is to help the readers in making meaningful interpretation of the text and second one is, in general, expand the knowledge and awareness of language. These aims are helpful for students to read and study literature with excellent language practice.
