Weakness

Baker describes the escalators themselves that rise to his office, “They were the free-standing kind: a pair of integral sins swooping upward between the two floors they served without struts or piers to bear any intermediate weight.” 
-This blogger used a long quotation.  This could have been broken apart and simplified as two sentences or more.

"H
e also uses figurative language when he mentions the escalator"
 - This blogger said the verb "uses" and if makes his observations sound weak.

It also seems manipulating and compulsive like there is a hidden problem within the character that is expressed through sharp abrasive language.
- This blogger began to use past tense.  At the beginning he/she used present tense.  This sentence would sound better if he/she said expresses instead of expressed

J. D. Salinger is an author who uses very low and denotative words to write his stories.  

- THIS blogger, says the verb "use" when describing the diction.  I think if the writer would say "conveys a low and denotative type of diction" instead of uses.
