Like "Popular Mechanics", "The Use of Force" also utilizes dialogue without quotation marks, which is something that stood out to me. More so in the beginning, there is more focus on the dialogue. The story then takes a turn, where the focus shifts to the main character and the child.
The setting is established and time seems to move slowly. Moving along in the story, on page 1592, it seems as though here the story picks up its pace. The first sentence in the last paragraph stopped time for a moment, signaling to the reader that this is the finale. Ending the story with an incomplete sentence is effective.
