Plotting Sid’s Plot - Outline

1. Sid's Study Struggle: Sid sits at his cluttered desk, attempting to study but obviously not interested and preoccupied.

2. Internal Conflict: He mutters, jokes, and hums, showing a deeper feeling of loneliness and bewilderment.

3. Escaping Routine: Climbs up on the bed, snaps photos of a LEGO race car, snatches chocolate — all little comfort actions.

4. Creative Spark: He sits down in front of his computer, not to read, but to look at car designs — a glimpse of what he is enthusiastic about.

5. A Quiet Realization: Outside, drawing covertly, Sid has an epiphany. He's still trying to get the hang of life, and that's what it's all about, to be coming of age.
