The language of this novel tends to be primarily casual and informal. The sentences are constructed mostly in adherence to grammatical traditions with some improper constructions occurring. These occasional deviations from proper grammar are often used as a method of portraying a certain character's train of thought, in a style similar to stream-of-consciousness. This language aids reader comprehension as it aids in developing both the characters in the novel and the society in which they live.
