Representational and abstract
Representational is defined as works of art that portrays natural objects in a recognizable form. This means that the work is more what the eye would see if you were staring at a natural object or scene. Abstract is defined as the less the work resembles real things in the real world.
So to answer the question on page 39 the work that is more representational is the one done by John Taylor in fig 42 it is a black and white outline of a treaty signing between the native Americas and what looks like English settlers it has a ton of detail and is really easy to see what is going on.
The other art work is defiantly is abstract it to me looks like a child drew it, howling wolf is much more open to interpretation and has a lot more meaning to it than the other one. The other one was very straight forward in its meaning, this one could mean a lot more even though is looks like it was drawn by a child.
