Style Mapping Sentences
The direct and tactile language exemplifies  ruthlessness, inhumanity, and mercilessness.~ Apples to Apples

The low, musical connotation of "Blood Meridian" is revealed by the diction in which there are no sophisticated words or those used simply for there pretty sound.~That one Guy's Blog

In 1984 by George Orwell, he portrays low language through his blunt diction and coarse observations giving the reader a sense of fear as well as disgust. Orwell uses vulgar descriptions such as, "The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats," which illustrates the setting of the novel. ~As Told by Ginger

In the first sentence, I especially like the work tactile, because it is both accurate and fun to say. Also, the three last nouns--ruthlessness, inhumanity, and mercilessness--are powerful ones.
The second sentence just stands out to me as very true and it contains thoughts similar to those I had when reading Blood Meridian. Although this person used the "there" instead of "their"...
There are many good adjectives in this last passage and I also like the inferences of fear and disgust.
