The perspective is written in first person with an omniscient point of view. The story is written from the point of view of E. B. White while he tours New York. The book is written in a fluid manner with modern writing for the 1940s when the piece was written. There have been little changes to the English language since this time, so there will not be many places in the book where the reader has difficulty.

The book doesn't have any chapters or sections that are signified by any marks. There are paragraphs that separate different thoughts, and occasionally when White is beginning a different piece in his depiction of New York, he will leave a large space as a break in the story. The structure of the story is easy to follow and has a steady flow to the reader once one becomes familiar with the standard.
