Style Mapping Picks

In contrast to Stardust, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian suggest a low energy, and expressively depicts an open prairie during the night. http://kaylaepicblogger.blogspot.com/2011/10/style-mapping.html

Cormac McCarthy's figurative-language-heavy introduction to Blood Meridian balances both an earthy grittiness and an elevated vocabulary as McCarthy describes the surroundings. http://academiczengerine.blogspot.com/

Dostoevsky's course, grating diction highlights his wrathful Russian background. He refers to an apartment as a "garret in which he lodged" and transitions with phrases like "quite the contrary."  http://laughapalooza22.blogspot.com/

Dissimilare to Stardust, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian demonstrates a thorough understanding of classy, picturesque language. http://skullandglossbones3.blogspot.com/

The reason I picked these excerts was that I thought that they were all the most credible sounding sentences. They were also some of the only ones I could find, maybe not everyone labeled their's under a style mapping title, even so these were some of the only ones I could find.
