The author uses imagery related to mapmaking is used to help define characters and relationships. Joseph, as game mapmaker, draws in a way that reflects his moral certainty: "neat little black lines, clear and sharp and sure of themselves." Nick's mapmaking reflects his moral confusion: "jumbled scribbles with the wrong measurements and the writing all tangled together."
