Since the language is easily understood, there is little chance for confusing the meaning of it. Occasionally, the author uses foreshadowing to build suspense. For instance, in the chapter called "Heaven Can't Wait," the title seems to foreshadow that a death will occur in that chapter. There is no death in the chapter, however. Instead, the "Heaven" from the chapter title refers to the "Heaven" the family members will find when they leave Foxworth Hall and Bart's control. The death of Chris, then, in the chapter called "Garden in the Sky" comes as a surprise.
