Style mapping!

Anna Godbersen, the author of The Luxe, uses fancy, yet simplistic language which makes the story understandable. On the first page, she is introducing the life of the main character with descriptions that are simple, yet elegant making it seem more interesting. Leaning towards the denotative side, Anna uses her orante style to pull this story together. Jenny Downham, the author of the story Before I Die, is straightfoward with the way she writes the story by using a blunt, common language that is deep in description, yet easy to understand. Jenny's harsh writing style portrays a depressing, dull mood that makes the story seem realistic. Eliza minot, the author of The Brambles, has a a mature, sophisticated way of writing the story. Right away it starts out with dialogue, which is confusing, but that is probably because I only read the first page. She seems to be more connotative with her descriptions and word choices, but the story itself would more centered because it is not harsh, or musical like, it is just its own category in the middle.
