We talked about how in Away, the author had characters use and appear in the text according to their character's hobbies and interests. The girl who wants to be a journalist is shown on the page from the point of view of a news report. The boy who wants to be a film maker and likes drama is seen in script format. The character that was also in Alone book, is still written in verse for continuity. The rancher boy is also in verse format, but is less verbose and in plain text. The girl had been in italics.
