Amusing description is used everywhere in the book. When Joey and Mary Alice first go to Grandma's and meet Effie Wilcox, Grandma describes her as an “old humped-over lady with buck teeth.” Then, when Mrs. L.G. Weidenbach comes to Grandma's house to ask her if she would participate at the church sale, Joey describes her as, “a big-topped lady teetering in high-heeled shoes.” Finally, at the Centennial Celebration when Mrs. L.G. Weidenbach's nephew performs, “his hair was parted in the middle and he'd painted artificial freckles all over his moon face.” These examples help the reader understand how the character looked like. In the book, A Long Way From Chicago, many types of witty, or humorous, dialogue are used.
