Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Noughts & Crosses / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: And how. Much of the attitude against noughts mirrors prejudice against black people during segregation in America, apartheid in South Africa and to a lesser extent attitudes towards black people in Britain until the 1960's. The Liberation Milita are realistic Well-Intentioned Extremist, with echoes of the IRA in cell structure, modus operandi and treatment by the media, and of MK and PAC anti apartheid guerrillas in South Africa. Kamal Hadley's political policy of "sending white people back where they came from," resembles some peoples ideas about immigration in (modern) Britain. There is even a reference to a KKK-esque band of Crosses who tied a nought to the back of a car and dragged him till he died for being in a Cross only area. | |

Ignoring by Singing | |
| Noughts & Crosses / int_1c2c6e08 | comment |
Ignoring by Singing: Just after Callie Rose finds out the truth about her dad, she starts refusing to talk to Sephy apart from asking for confirmation for the truth and then stating her feelings. When all else fails, she starts singing, making it impossible for Sephy to talk to her. | |

Childhood Friend Romance: Sephy and Callum. As they grow up their romantic feelings are completely, 100% reciprocated but outside forces tear them apart averting them becoming 'victorious' childhood friends. Played straight with Tobey and Callie Rose. | |

Dead Guy Junior: Sephy names Callie Rose after her father (although she decided that before Callum was sentenced to death). If Callie had been a boy, she stated that she would have called him Ryan after Callum's deceased father. Rose was actually Callum's suggestion when they met for the last time, but Sephy suggested Callie. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Noughts & Crosses / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: The whole book is basically this for Callum and Sephy, who start off as relatively optimistic and hopeful about their futures (Sephy moreso than Callum) and become much more cynical and broken. Lynette and Jude also go through this before the book even starts. Callie Rose goes through this after she is told what happened to her father. Meggie reflects in Checkmate that telling teenaged Jude that he had to leave school early was this to him, and she even believes this started the path towards what he would eventually become, stating that she saw all his idealism and affection withered away after that. | |

We Used to Be Friends: Jasmine and Meggie, before Jasmine fired her (wrecking her family's life in the process) for accidentally not providing an alibi about a night out. Jasmine eventually does her best to mend their relationship and even states in her will that ending her friendship with Meggie was one of the biggest mistakes she ever made. | |

Trauma Conga Line | |
| Noughts & Crosses / int_71e8a5c5 | comment |
Trauma Conga Line: Basically the entire first book for Callum: His sister is borderline insane, his older brother picks on him and his parents disapprove of him continuing his education at a previously Cross only secondary school. At said-school he's constantly bullied by students and teachers for his race. Then his sister is killed in an accident, and he discovers it was actually suicide but can't bring himself to tell anyone, his dad is arrested for murder, almost executed and then killed trying to escape. And of course he has to keep his friendship with Sephy a secret, then falls in love with her while knowing they can never be together and he misses his one chance to run away with her. They eventually have one night together and conceive a child...which results in him being put to death and not even being allowed to see her again before he dies. Thanks to the above events, Callum's family suffer this as well. | |

Alternate History | |
| Noughts & Crosses / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: The reason why there is so much prejudice against noughts is because they were enslaved by people from Africa, rather than the other way round. (See below). | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending: Noughts and Crosses. Callum is hanged with Sephy screaming her love for him as he dies and no one else believes he's innocent of rape.However the last page of the book bears the announcement of the birth of their daughter and Sephy's declaration she'll take Callum's surname. | |

Family Theme Naming | |
| Noughts & Crosses / int_e502e268 | comment |
Family Theme Naming: The Hadleys named both their daughters after goddesses - Minerva (the Roman goddess of wisdom) and Persephone (the Greek goddess of springtime and maidenhood). May also cement their positions of Minerva being the responsible, logical one, and Sephy being the idealistic, somewhat naive one. | |

Meaningful Rename: Sephy drops the "Callie" from Callie Rose's name, and starts calling her "Rose". Reverted, when Callie Rose joins the LM and starts going by just "Callie". | |

The Mole: Kamal has one inside the Liberation Militia, which leads to the destruction of Jude and Callum's cell. Making things worse for Jude and Callum, the mole outranks them, meaning they can't expose him without risking their own lives. | |
