Style Mapping

In Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses, McCarthy utilizes a lower elevation, giving common details to set up the plot such as when he states, "The candleflame and the image of the candleflame caught in the pierglass twisted and righted when he entered the hall and again when he shut the door." William Faulkner incorporates a harsh sound to his opening page when he writes, "She had never even been to Doane's Mill until after her father and mother had died."  George Orwell gives a denotative connotation in his novel 1984 when he gives a straight forward account of the Hate Week when he states, "It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate week."
