The three works that I am choosing to compare are, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian, and John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, she uses Elevated and sophisticated style of diction. For example, when she writes “Accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings” it shows her high diction. On the other hand, in the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, a more blunt and vulgar form of diction is used. For example, when Steinbeck writes “With us it ain't like that” you can see the slang in his writing. Finally, in Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian, we see a more scholarly and traditional form of diction. You can see this when he writes “Where he rode no soul save he”
