Complexity, Theme and Book Structure

 
Complicity: An artist who is 13 years old, shy, awkward, and barley talks. In each section of Noah’s side of the story. He likes to pause and describe an idea painting, title and an image that he creates within his mind. He spends all of his time drawing.
Example:) “After a while, having gotten no response as usual, I take out the charcoals from my back pocket. They somehow survived the ordeal intact.  Sit down and open my sketchbook. I black out a whole blank page, then another, and another. I press so hard, I break stick after stick, using each one down to the very nub, so it’s like the blackness coming out of my finger, out of me, and onto the page. I fill up the whole rest of the pad. It takes hours. ( A Series: Boy Inside a Box of Darkness)”
 Jude is also an artist, 16 who is beautiful, popular and likes the social. She is very confident, talkative and if she has time she surfs and cliff dives.
Theme: Coming Of Age
Book Structure: I honestly love the book structure of this book. It gives me more interest into the book instead of it having it a as a chapter with a title in it.
This book is splits into two different timelines- one when they’re thirteen/fourteen years old and the other when they’re sixteen. It’s told in first person alternating back and forth from the twins perspective. In Noah’s section age 13 talks about relationships, betraying one another and breaking the bonding of Jude and himself as they become adolescence. Jude’s section beings when they’re sixteen. She tells how her, Noah and her family reconnect. On the top of each section of the story, there is a larger text to tell what it’s mostly going to
