Throughout the beginning of this book, there have been many different characters that have been introduced, however, only a few are considered main characters. Each character desires different things in their life and their time at Culver Creek. Miles, for example, decided to move from Florida to Alabama to find his "Great Perhaps"; which basically is to seek a great adventure and to find himself along the way. The other main character, Alaska, desires adventure, excitement, and danger. She has courage and liveliness and to Miles, she is utterly fascinating.
The way this book is structured is different than most novels. It starts out where the first half of the book is about Miles and what his life is like before he is completely captivated into the world of Alaska Young. The second half is what occurs after he falls under her spell. I would definitely say I haven't seen this technique before, but I have seen many different structures similar to it.
