What is the author's style in Ask Me No Questions by Marina Tamar Budhos?

The author's writing style is specifically directed toward the American teenager. Nadira's narration, thus, makes her sufferings more tangible to the target audience as it allows her to seem like a peer that could go to their school. The language also does a great job of conveying Nadira's mixed emotions and her feeling of losing her home after Abba is arrested. It allows teen readers to associate with Nadira and feel what she feels about her unjust situation. This novel's language characterizes the racist environment following the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001, and it shows the differences between Americans and Bangladeshis, as well as the differences between the older generation of Bangladeshis and their children who were predominately raised in America.
