First Person: Dual Points-of-View

I do like reading stories told in multiple perspectives; we get to learn more about all sorts of characters featured in the books they are in. It truly shows that authors care about all their characters and not just their main one.
Though, it seems that when stories are told in first-person, it can be difficult to relate to all these characters (for the most part).

A problem I have with books told in first person is the dual points of view that some books are told in, especially when the characters sound so much alike to the point where you can't tell who is who. The only times you will know for certain whose head you are in is when the chapter titles have the character or if the character whose view you are reading in mentions the other character(s).

Example:

••
Most people know of the acclaimed dystopian trilogy known as Divergent; I have even mentioned these books in some other chapters.
Anyone who has finished the trilogy is well aware that Allegiant, unlike the first two books in the trilogy, has dual points of view between the characters Tris and Tobias (otherwise, known as Four).
Many people, myself included, did not approve of this change of writing Veronica Roth chose to use.
••

My main problem with first person books told in dual points of view is when the author does not make each voice of the characters distinct for us, the readers, to recognize. I am fortunate to have not run into this problem in recent books told in first person (usually thanks to the chapters having the name of the character whose head you are in).

Though I do not have a lot of experience writing stories in first person (I much prefer third person), I believe one way that would help those who have trouble making their characters in dual points of view while writing in first person distinct would be to do character studies.
That may seem odd, but when doing character studies, one learns much about their characters — from their mannerisms and speech patterns to the simpler aspects such as their appearance. When doing a character study, you learn what sets your characters apart from the others, in which this information can be a great deal of use when writing dual points of view (not just in first person).

I apologize for this shorter chapter, and, on top of that, not updating in quite some time.

I hope adding that tip about using and making character studies (even though that is such a basic thing to do) does help other people see how they are of use to helping write dual POVs.
This concept of adding tips into these chapters has been something flood consideration for a while now, and I may continue doing so from now on. Just to show that I am not just rambling about what I don't like in entertainment.
