In The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker, Baker has an elevated, refined, and business like diction. The excerpt of Chapter One is connotative, figurative, and dignified straightfoward. The excerpt is very discirptive; there are "long glossy highlights" on each of the "black rubber handrails", and an "esculator of sunlight". Baker discribes everything from the "black penguine paperback" to the "intregral signs" and the "intersections of the lobby". This is just a well put together paragraph.
