Style Mapping

In "The Mud Below" the Anne Pnoulx uses blunt, discordant language to suggest the blue collar outlook found in the society that the story takes place while showing how uncivilized and rough bull riding can be. In Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" the use of a melodiously scholarly dictum that nearly seems archaic portrays a feeling of older times, more socially dictated times in which one follows the bonds of society instead of breaking the mold. And in Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" the language oozed of a fancy intricacy that made the descriptive portions of the book seem like they drug on even though the story line itself was very well written.
