How does the author use language in the book, Fairy Tale: A Novel?

King differentiates between the Charlie that lives in Illinois and the Charlie that becomes a prince in Empis by the way he speaks. Charlie notices at first that he is unable to say some of the slang phrases he commonly uses in Illinois such as “awesome sauce” (197). In another example, Charlie speaks using the language of fairy tale royalty when he asks Iota to stop tormenting Hamey: “‘Cease,’ I said. ‘Why would you tease someone who’s your fellow in this vile place?’ That didn’t sound like Charlie Reade at all. That kid was a lot more apt to say Quit fucking around than what had just come out of my mouth” (387). Charlie defines the difference in his speech by recording both what he said, and what he would have said as his normal self.
