By creating a story-based piece, Kahn is able to get his points across in a way that is easy to read, follow, and understand. Most of Kahn's sentences are fairly short and to the point. He rarely uses sentences with multiple parts to them, and his vocabulary stays basic. "A man gunned down on a busy street. No identifying witnesses; no suspects. In this, James Wise's murder was typical". (Kahn, 58) This is a perfect example of how concise Kahn makes things. By putting his thoughts and words into short, little parts, he's able to build imagery and create an imagine of the things that are occurring, in our minds. His short sentences aren't the only thing helping create pictures in our minds, his actual words are, too. "A prisoner in his own home", "electronically shackled", "wail of police sirens", and "haunt the city", all are very loaded phrases. Not only are his sentences broken down, but the entire text is as well. Kahn does an amazing job at breaking down the text into different sections that makes the entire piece easier to understand. By breaking the text up, he's giving us time to collect our thoughts on what we just read before we start reading the next part.
