In Thomas Frank's chapter, I noticed multiple instances of repetition. On pages 208 and 209, the chapter starts by repeating the phrase "Before you were born" nine different times. Then, on page 213, the word "sweat" is used four times in three sentences. Finally, on page 225, the word "pray(er)" was used five times in four sentences. It seems this repetition shows how Thomas thinks about things. He likes to use one word or phrase to connect his ideas. It is a quirk. Did you all notice any other quirks or repeated behaviors in any of the other character's chapters? If so, what were they?
Excellent question, John! Did you notice any others? I wonder if this chapter has a prayer- or chant-like quality to it...
