Thompson rarely uses periods and lets the language flow out non-stop. Thompson's style of writing in this book allows Eloise's true nature come alive through the grammatical structures. It is also a story of independence and finding your own path. Kay Thompson tells a poignant story in a light-hearted manner of what measures people will go to in order to fill a void in their lives while trying to make the best of things. She also gets to live vicariously it seems through the stories of the hotel staff's lives. Eloise also fills up much of her time by "making things up," as stated by Eloise herself. The hotel staff are tolerant but irritated as the reader can see from the spunky drawings by Hillary Knight within the book. She fills up her time by finding anything and everything to keep her busy, some of which leads to borderline trouble. The main conflict is that Eloise, besides the help of the loving Nanny, is left to raise herself.
