Manipulation+of+Sequence

=How Manipulating the Sequence Affects the Story=

__No Country for Old Men__ does not manipulate the time line all that much, but it does manipulate the sequence quite a bit. For instance, when a new section of a chapter starts, it usually means you are jumping from Moss to Chigurh, or Chigurh to Bell, or any combination of the three. These jumps can confuse the reader the first time you read the book. In fact, for some people, it may take two times reading the entire book to fully understand what is happening. This is not a negative aspect of the book though. With the story jumping from lead character to lead character, the reader will feel suspence as to what will happen next. This adds to the overall style of the book a great deal.
