comment on style language

The novel is narrated from Myron's point of view, and much of the language reflects Myron's thought processes. As Myron is sneaking down the street toward the Coldrens' houses, he jokes that the shrubs are talking to him, reflecting his wry sense of humor in the narration of events. Myron also builds up theories in his mind, and he asks questions. The story's narration uses questions to create suspicion and suspense in the readers' mind.
