Style Mapping

In the exert Stardust, Neil Gaiman uses high language as he describes the houses in Wall as, "old grey stone and with dark slate roofs." The tone is more connotation then denotative because it is suggesting and picturesque of the city near Wall and the long packed roads from city to city. Stardust has a harsh tone to it because of the dull and clattering effects to the whole novel.

Blood Meridain by Cormac McCarthy describes the low dusk and bitter arcs of the night sky. His connotation language conveys the harsh and gentle setting of the exert. Meridian uses figurative language to also describe his fear of citizenry and uses vast diction to add a old fashion appearance to the novel.

The book Falling Hard edited by Betsey Franco are love poems written by teenagers. It has a high elevation with elegant and fancy diction. The tone is connotation because it has an emotional feel to it and describes the poetic and lyrical emotions of young love. The musical sounds are harmonious and melodious which make the book have a light quantity to it.
