What do you notice about how the text is laid out?

I notice there are two protagonists, Salva and Nya. Their stories remain separate through much of the book yet connected through the experience of Civil War. Salva is the primary protagonist. Both stories finally come together at the end of the book.

Please submit each of your questions one at a time. Thanks.
