Popular Mechanics

"Bring that back, he said. Just get your things and get out, she said."

The style of this story is very important to the plot and tone. The whole story does not contain any question marks to indicate speaking. However, we can interpret who is saying what very clearly. The purpose of this style is simplicity. Simplistic style allows us to know that the argument and the plot are very simple as well. What each person is saying does not matter, nor does what they're fighting about matter. The climax of the story is at the end, when they rip apart the baby (gruesome, I know). Therefore, the simplistic style makes us realize the importance of the baby being ripped apart because of the fighting. The fighting itself and who is saying what is not the importance of the story.
