What on earth was the woman afraid of?” (Pg 23) 5. “Queer business when you think about it--the whole thing was queer--very queer…..” (Pg 21) (repetition) This quote uses the word queer more than once and this has the effect to where it leaves an air of questioning and throughout the book the word queer is used over and over again.
