Summary Note520 _aThis was a qualitative study utilizing descriptive analysis to reveal the elements of Sparks' writing style and his chosen themes. The data for this study came from Spark's last song- it was textual. the study was conducted within the framework of two theories. Aesthecism and Stylistics. It was found that Sparks utilizes binary opposite themes which are: hatred Vs. love, Death Vs. life, Adultery Vs fidelity, Distrust Vs. faith. Alienation vs closeness, Poverty Vs. wealth, and Illusion Vs. Reality. This theme becomes completely effective as his style of narrating the story supports them. Sparks' style was analyzed in terms of the following elements: Figurative languages of speech, syntax, sentence fluency, diction, choice of words, point of view, type of discourses, and plot devices. Through the analysis of Sparks' novel, implications for literary and creative writing were drawn. The implications for literary appreciation are: read to enjoy the literature, enhance the enjoyment of literature, and develop a passion for literature. The implications for creative writing are: to practice creative reading, think critically and analytically, write pictorially and aurally, and fictionalize a true-life story.
