Chapter Titles

     The Chapters within Awkward and Definition change between books. In Awkward we see that Ariel accompanies every chapter has a title and small illustration of sorts that represents what is to happen. While Definition has the same large bold chapter and number stated but no actually title accompanied like in Awkward.

    Comparing the two works I feel that the stronger of the two would be Awkward simply because I enjoy the creative presentation she chose to execute each chapter with. The chapter title was placed in a much smaller form then in Definition but because the actually title of each had a unique look you find yourself admiring her work. There was also more of a flow having the chapter title leading into the next section of her story. For example this is shown in chapter 12 when the title is illustrated in graffiti artwork and then she expresses her personally experience had taking part in doing graffiti.

    The way Ariel decided to put chapters in her second book Definition was to have a large bold black box of ink covering the top of her page and have the text showing white indicating the chapter number. There was also far less chapters in her second book then in her first and the bolder graphics of her illustrations in Definition matched her decision on keeping that same bold look to her chapter numbers.
