An Interesting Way to Tell the Story

Franz Kafka's The Trial is written in a very unique manner.  The structure of the story is similar to a court manuscript.  It has very long paragraphs, and there are very few of them.  The dialogue of the story is also very similar to a manuscript.  One similarity with a manuscript is the unedited style of the story.  "'...it is better if that is done without delay.'  'I thank you,'" (Kafka, 58).  With quotes that are often directly beside each other, it feels as if this were a real court case.  The dialogue of the story is often factual as well, which further implies this is the be written as a court manuscript.  This style adds to the effect of the story.  It makes the reader feel as if they are actually reading the account of a man on trial.  This is helpful for the reader, as the actual trial and legal proceedings around the trial are very strange, confusing, and rather unknown.
