Post Awards ("Posties")
1. All three of these titles are similar because of the boringly aggravated language use. - posted by Mello, "The Average Life of a Teenage Bookworm."
2. The melodic feeling one infers from the town of Wall is merely a reaction to its physical beauty and awing presence. - posted by When Autumn Came, "The Blog of Epic Proportions."
3. The introduction of a work of literature sets the standard for the rest of the work, showing if the author is eloquent and poetic or blunt and caustic. In Neil Gaiman's Stardust, Gaiman writes poetically with colloquial language, using words that are neither dissonant nor melodious, in order to describe the setting. - posted by Zengerine, "ZENGERINEgoesacademic."
4. The elevation of Stardust and Rebecca are both elevated and ornate whereas Cormac McCarthy uses a familiar and colloquial elevation in Blood Meridian. - posted by Anon Nona, "Bud in the Garden."
5. The speaker describes the houses of Wall with casual, blunt language such as "square" and "old." Also, the speaker repeats conventional adjectives. For instance, another wall built of "square lumps" is described as "old." - posted by Star-Belly Sneech, "The World Is Ours."
