Monkey see, monkey do.
Are you related?
A copy of a copy, a duplicate me
Blink twice,
No, you're not imagining it.
Shadow and brightness of the mirror view
Those slightly distinct reflections
And such perfect impressions
In a synchronised pair.
One and the same but nothing alike,
Double up
She's always right
If I pinch you can she feel it?

Each also follows common narrative patterns (such as the rule of 3 ) with a meta-plot to match. Of course, as with any rule there will always be exceptions, but w hile this theory has been criticised for being a little reductive, surely there is truth in the words that Booker took 34 years to craft and publish?
