Style-mapping sentences:

1. In contrast, Cormac McCarthy's figurative-language-heavy introduction to Blood Meridian balances both an earthy grittiness and an elevated vocabulary as McCarthy describes the surroundings. (Zengerine)
2. On the other hand, McCarthy’s Blood Meridian holds a musical quality to the words, as well as descriptive and distinct linguistics. (Bookworm Days)
3. The melodic feeling one infers from the town of Wall is merely a reaction to its physical beauty and awing presence. (The Blog of Epic Proportions)
4. Shakespeare's writing is by far the most musical, the way the poetry flows together in all of the passages plus with the rhyming. (The Average Life of a Teenage Bookworm)
5. In contrast, Cormac McCarthy uses more raspy and resonant sounding language. (Bud in the Garden)

My two favorite sentences from the style-mapping activity are from Zengerine and Bud in the Garden. Their adjectives "grittiness" (Zengerine) and "raspy" (Bud in the Garden) are extremely descriptive.
