Connotation- Cormac Mcarthy's novel, Blood Meridian, has a very poetic meaning. With its picturesque descriptions, Mcarthy portrays a metaphoric atmosphere.
Concreteness- the passages has a sort of theoretical and hypothetical feel to it.
My Claim:
In Cormac Mcarthy's Blood Meridian, the eerie feel of the dingy and gloomy setting portrays the sadness and moroseness the character must have been feeling during his jorney.
