*How one must sacrifice their insecurities and mature in order to help another do the same. In this case, Gavin must conquer his timidness and inferiority in order to provide Izzy Tipton with a good role model he can look up to. Izzy's presence and his discontent with life is a great factor in Gavin's evolving personality throughout the story. Gavin sees parts of himself in Izzy, which makes Gavin sympathize with the kid and gives him a reason to change. | *How one must sacrifice their insecurities and mature in order to help another do the same.

*If you haven't yet realized, my favorite narrative tool is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_arc#Examples_in_film character development]. Seriously, it's one of the most over-looked and under-used things in modern story-telling. These characters I make are real people living in a real world, and reality is not perfect. Reality changes. [http://theweek.com/article/index/265653/why-you-should-stop-believing-in-evolution Evolution] does not only pertain to changing species; it encompasses every single thing that goes through change. Everything changes, from society to music to art. Don't tell me the society we live in is the same as it was in the 40s, the 50s, the 60s. The very reason humans created the concept of time was to record and witness change. If nothing changed, calendars and clocks would be unnecessary. The universe is the very creation of change. If nothing changed, we wouldn't exist. | *If you haven't yet realized, my favorite narrative tool is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_arc#Examples_in_film character development].

*Dichotomy. It means the difference between things that are considered opposites, specifically when they are shown together. Obvious examples include the dichotomy between the inside and outside of New Gaspard; the futuristic cyberpunk electric city of the interior contrasts with the open farm and prairie countryside of the surrounding land. The dichotomy between different subcultures and social groups. Between the way different people think about and view things. Between the ways people live their life and make a living. | |||
