Facing Electronic Literature

Identical is told my many different perspectives and that makes it hard to make one visualization for the whole book. The story is told from Kaeleigh, Raeanne, their mom, dad, and their boyfriends point of view. Kaeleigh and Raeanne are identical twins but it's easy to tell them apart. The only time we see a different side of each twin is at the end of the book. The end of the book is what gave me the idea for this visual. Each character struggles through out the whole book. We see them fall down and get to their lowest. They all have two sides to them and we see each side multiple times. It's as if these characters have a public side and a private side. This really shows with their mom and dad. Their dad is a judge and the mom is in politics. Each of them have a scary private life that should never be shown in public. This image shows all aspects of Identical. The split personality is true for each character in this book and not just the twins. This image shows a person breaking away from themselves. Trying to become something else but still remain who they are. This is what I see when I read Identical. I didn't want to find anything about twins because we already know what that may look like. This image fits exactly what I want for this book.

The colors also show what this book represents. The book has several characters and they all want us to know our their story. I feel like the colors are telling their stories for us. Each color represents a different character and their story. The end of the book throws a curve ball at us and this image shows that as well. The ending is something we don't see coming and I think this image is kind of like that. Trying to understand this image is exactly how the book unfolds.

I wanted an image to represent the book as a whole and not just the main character. I feel like we tend to praise the main character, instead of the minor ones. This book is different in that aspect because each character gets their own chapter. We get to hear their voice and how they feel. This image does just that. We can see all the minor details and weakness, yet we still keep looking.
