The language often contains slang that enhances the conversational tone of the narration. The novel is told mainly in internal dialogue, expressing the thoughts and feelings of the narrator. The use of conversational language helps to express the narrator's thoughts and feelings in a way that is clear and easy for readers of all ages and ability to comprehend. The novel's language is almost poetic at times, rough at others, again reflecting the emotions of the narrator.
