Narrative Structure and Style No dialogue At times there could be chapters that could be 8 pages longs, however only one period was used in the entire chapter. Some chapters were writing as poems Not very organized, it was almost as though the author wrote whatever she felt like writing, whether or not it made sense, or was written with proper grammar. The author would jump from the past to the present without any indication that she was actually doing so, which may be confusing to the reader. There were many random poems throughout the novel. At the parts where people were speaking, it was hard to tell if they were speaking or thinking because of the lack of dialogue.
