Style Mapping Favorites:
swimstrong: http://smellslikechlorine.blogspot.com/
In another excerpt from The Mud Below, Annie Proulx creates a poetic and loose style that has somewhat of a country twang which creates a melodious sound.

I like this sentence because it uses words different than those on the blackboard. I like the use of "country twang."

the Chief: http://chieftian.blogspot.com/
The adealine injected cheering of the crowd and violent spasisms of the bull give a noisy claging sound to this excert.

although there are some spelling mistakes, I think that this excerpt has some good word choice!

Less than Three: http://thoughtful-attempt.blogspot.com/
It pays no heed to the way that words sound together and has extraordinarily little figurative language.

Again, really good word choice. I think that her paragraph was overall really good, and she understands the concept of style mapping.

These three have chosen the best adjectives that weren't on the board.
