This week I continued  to read Death's little helps by peter Spiegelman. So far it was proven to be a good read, though i am only a hundred pages in I have managed to form my own opinion of the mystery of Dane's disappearance. But instead of revealing my opinions, Mr. Hill has asked us to look at our fellow bloggers and see some of the best sentences of their "Style Mapping" assignment. Top five include...

!.) Our top sentences comes from Kims Corner! She is reading "The Virgin Suicide" and states that "In Neil's excerpt he writes in a style that is dull and archaic as he describes that stoney features of the town of Wall"

2.) The second spot goes to Eddie! She is reading "Blood Meridian" and tells us that  McCarthy "uses figurative language to also describe his fear of citizenry and uses vast diction to add a old fashion appearance to the novel."

 3.) Our third place goes to T-Rex who is also reading "Blood Meridian" and she tells us that  
" describes the early morning dusk with low connotating language to convey the hash and gentle setting of the exert"

4.) In fourth place comes RocketGuild who is reading Star Dust. RocketGuild tells us that "The diction is fragile and overlaps a light use of figuratuve language. The passage includes mildy sweet language such as "granite amidtst a small forest woodland." in the story

5.) At last place, the loser of the bunch who wasn't good enough for the top four spots, comes from Becca's blog! yay! Becca is reading The Things they carried and she says "

The elevation of his diction is pretty average - not rude or flowery - and the sound can be described as both grating and melodious as he switches between describing the horrors and beauties of war."

Well that's the word on the streets folks. Fresh Money out
