semester: 1386

Sentences I enjoyed from other peoples style mapping blogs...
From Hoosier XC 3366
1.  "The Mud Below" has a poetic, imagistic connotation, a common, familiar elevation with a country twang, and a sweet, musical sound that creates an overall sense  of contentment.
From The New Zealander
2. The language is rough and coarse in order to portray the common colloquialisms of southern Texas.
From T-REX
3.The musical sounds generated by these love poems convey a harmonious and melodious tone to the book that adds to the fragile yet helpless attitude of the teenagers in love.
From For Lack Of a Better Name
4.He writes as he speaks and thinks, producing a style more compatible with leisure readers and lower intellects, rather than very well educated readers who are looking for a challenging read.
From Hog Smog Blog
5. His grating talk on life and drugs captures you into the book as its prey even though the content of his words [are] suggestive.

I liked these blogs because they all used neat adjectives that caught my attention. They set themselves apart from the normal adjectives such as "exciting" and "dull" or "harsh". I liked how Hoosier XC 3366 decided to comment on the authors diction and described it as a "twang", I enjoyed The New Zealander's choice of the word "colloquialisms", T-REX used a unique approach on describing the teenager's love, For Lack of a Better Name decided to give an array of adjectives that made his sentence interesting, and Hog Smog Blog used a good simile, "captures you into the book like it's prey".
good job ya'll. you did great.
