The various tones of the story are suspenseful and anxious. The beating of the heart which in this case simulates fury causes the story to intensify as it is being read.

The intensity adds to the suspense of the story which makes the tone deep and mysterious. We want to read faster in order to get past those parts, yet it is everywhere. Like when your parents send you to put the garbage out at night, you run as fast as you can down the driveway.
