Books I'm reading

-Uncle Johns Best Bathroom readings

-West Side Story(Novelized)


Style Mapping:

Bill963- "In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, she uses Elevated and sophisticated style of diction. For example, when she writes “Accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings” it shows her high diction"

TheNewZealander-"A few adjectives could be categorized as elevated language, but as a whole, the passage falls in the middle of the gamut. Some predictable repetition of words occurs, creating neither a harsh, coarse sound, nor a melodious one."

Case 1-"In Cormac McCarthy's excerpt from "Blood Meridian" he writes in a picturesque, metaphoric connotative language."

Peanut Butter without the jelly-"Leaning towards the denotative side, Anna uses her orante style to pull this story together."

The TRUTH-"Kamler has a figurative, metaphoric, and connotative language when describing the areas he's traveled to and the way he explains how he managed to stay alive in the most hazardous situations."

The award for best setence goes to Case 1. Although short, Case 1 includes many good vocab words and decribes a passage quite well. Language used such as picturesque and connatative gave the reader a good sense of what was being described. All of these setences are strong though. Good work class!
