The author’s use of the stylistic choice, diction, is a very formal take on the English language. While in other forms of writing, slang terms and local vernacular are common, Misty Bernall did not find it necessary to use anything but proper English. Even in simple sentences like “I shudder to think where we might be today, had I not come across those letters” (Bernall 52).

“Yeah, I can see that Murphy. I can still see, I’m not blind.” She uttered out a sarcastic reply to him. “Why the hell of all days do you pick today to take a damn rain check, why couldn’t you do it yesterday or hell even tomorrow when you're supposed to be helping Bellamy.” She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
