Uddrag
“The river was there.” “As he watched them they changed their positions by quick angles […] Nick watched them a long time. He watched them holding themselves with their noses into the current…”
The constant use of the same words is also a portrayal of Nick and his constant need for control and reassurance.
The language also never mentions anything directly, but you always have to read between the lines.
For example, is Nicks participation in World War 1 never mentioned, but you have to guess yourself to it.
Therefore, the language seems to be very straightforward and uncomplicated, while in the meantime every word is picked out carefully to have a specific meaning to the text.
