Utilizing letters as a method of storytelling could undermine the urgency around free expression by presenting everything in a past tense aftermath.

Presenting the story as epistles would over-simplify the themes since letters provide explicit accounts leaving little room for interpretation.

An epistolary format could intensify personal perspectives on the loss and pursuit of freedom of speech, reinforcing the censorship theme.

Letters written by characters would diminish the impact of censorship to promote a direct and positive view of free expression.
