Googled: The End of the World as We Know It -- Ken Auletta
On the high end of the Y axis, Ken is bluntly stating his surroundings at his college campus. He seems to be in a nervous state of mind with many thoughts coarsing through his mind, always worrying about his competetors and his jobs work which has basically become his life. "Short and pugnacious, Karmazin was by his own admission 'always paranoid' about competitors." 

On the denotative end of the X axis, he simply states the simple facts. theres students sitting with thier laptops wearing baggy tshirts. he himself is wearing a suit a tie that gray hait cut quite short. "With his suit and tie and closley cropped gray hair, Mel Karmazin stood out as he crossed the Google campus in Mountain View, California, passing people in baggy T-shorts holding thier laptops before them..."

On the Z axis, the exerpt seems to fall in the middle. the tone is niether musical and sweet nor is it thretening and noisey. if it had to be calssified as harsh or musical, id choose harsh. the thoughts of his that he tells are negative and uneasy, leaning me towards the harsh side of the chart.


"The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing" -- Melissa Bank
On the high end of the Y axis, the narrator desribes her briothers loving and serious realtionship with his girlfriend. She gives off a sence of liking this woman and respects the love her brotehr has for her. she does seem a bit skeptical but descibes her with possitive and beautiful features. "She had dark eyes, high cheek bones, and beautiful skin, pale, with high coloring in her cheeks like a chikd with fever."

On the connotative end of the X axis, the exerpt is suggestive that the narrator and her mother are skeptical of Henrys girlfriend. With the desriptive words, it can be seen as poetic. "I thought maybe she'd look older than Henrey, but it was Henry looked older than Henry"

On the musical end of the Z axis, again, with her diction and thoughtful feelings put into this exerpt.
