On page 125-127, the author keeps repeating the time.

Ex: At 5:28 pm, a cop pulls us over because dad has a broken taillight.

At 5:30, the officer approaches our car and asks Dad for his driver's license and registration.

Why does the author do this?

• to be super detailed

• so everyone knows what time it is

• to increase tension or suspense

• because he want this part to be boring
